| Posted by jwoker, 08-11-2009, 01:36 PM | | I am considering moving my reseller account from liquidweb to hostgator. I have about 15 client sites and am wondering if there is a howto on moving from one provider to another?
Liquidweb has been great, very prompt, competent service. But I am tired of no remote mysql access and they have been a little quick to blacklist ip's without notice. Before liquidweb I used energized hosting but the accounts got hacked too frequently - is that an issue at all with hostgator?

They seem like relatively small issues, ones that LW may be able to address without you needing to move?
Just a quick suggestion.

Reseller account at Liquidweb? I was not aware of them selling reseller hosting, except through their Sonet7 brand.
