Need help transferring files and database from one company's web hosting service to another. The website is [[login to view URL]][1], and incorporates basic HTML files, PHP scripts, MySQL, and the Smarty template engine, in a Linux environment. The new server will also support PHP, MySQL, and Linux, but you may have to install some PHP libraries/packages, such as PEAR and Smarty. We're going from one dedicated server to another, and you'll have complete control over the new server's enviroment.
The website contains approximately 300 files, and the MySQL database is something like 50MB in size. I'm looking for someone to take over the entire "transfer" process for me, as I don't have the time to do it myself. In the end, I want the site to function exactly as it does today, except on a different host. I don't anticipate any database or programming changes. Downtime on the website needs to be minimal.
I'd like to start this transfer October 21, and have it completed by October 28.
