here my step for migration,
1. backup home folder and database
2. upload the file u back up to your new host.
3. check your folder structure in your new hostm ex: /home/user/public_html sometimes its different, if not same like old host you must change database content to match your new host folder.
4. import your database to new host
maybe i can help just pm me

To avoid issues, you can use "UpdraftPlus - Backup/Restore". You can find it here on babiato, just search for it.

Better question from a server admin.

Why not use if your using cPanel to have it do a full backup which will properly zip up the files and database into an easy to use file to restore the account at the new location. If your needing help migrating it all over then simply as the new location or host about it as it is part of their skills if they are aware how to do it.

ideally you can always do a home directory backup then upzip it in the new host and then export the whole database as a .sql file and then import it into the new host.

There are a couple of ways to do it. If you request additional help then let me know.
