Moving hosting is one of the thorny problems for self-web hosting users, typically beginners like me, especially when using a slow internet connection. Although using a fast internet connection was still exhausting to move the blog. Then how quickly the solution to move hosting?
One solution is to move the web hosting using SSH (Secure Shell).
What is the difference with regular hosting move? Maybe for those who never used it will be asked.
Understanding SSH from Wikipedia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell)
Secure Shell or SSH is a network protocol that allows exchange of data via a secure channel between two network devices. Especially widely used on Linux and Unix-based systems to access shell accounts, SSH was designed as a replacement for Telnet and other insecure remote shells, which send information, notably passwords, in the form of simple text that makes it easy to be intercepted. Encryption used by SSH provides confidentiality and integrity of data over an insecure network like the Internet.
Understand the above is confusing if connected by a quick way to move the hosting. Because we may think, without SSH, we still can exchange the data. What is clear at this time? SSH is often used in order to move the server or move the hosting, the difference with the manual switch hosting is we do not need to download data from the old server and then upload back to the new server.
However, for example, simply by moving from the old Virtual Private Servers Hosting to new Dedicated Server Hosting without any other computer can be done via our PC. Our PC (as a SSH client) only as a remote command to order a copy of data from the old server to the new server. And the speed was surprising to me when first try. Although the content of our site is large files, it will not be more than a half-hour process. Unfortunately, not all shared hosting provides this facility to its customers, thereby moving the data into another server is still difficult and exhausting.
