Hey all, I currently reside with a hosting company where I think I'm going to switch to a cheaper one. I've been backing-up my site with JoomlaPack. This will be the first time I've ever moved or used a backup procedure to switch hosting companies. Are there any big points that I need to be aware of when trying to do this ? I'm hoping I just unzip a folder at the new hosting site and my old site just appears the same as it was on the old hosting site.
Any pointers appreciated in what to do ?

Great program! It worked for me - just follow the instructions exactly. Best wishes for the move.

Practice makes... in other words my tip to you would be to setup a test environment to practice and test the restore of you're backups. Try setting up a
wampserver
or a
xamppserver
on you're local machine and restore the backup. See what problems occur and go in prepared.
Good luck
