Good news! Moving to WebHostingBuzz from another Cpanel host? Need help moving your site to us? We’ll do the hard work for you!
Starting today, customers signing up for any of our packages; shared hosting, reseller hosting or ultimate hosting can take advantage of this new free service and put any migration worries to sleep.
FAQ
How do I get WebHostingBuzz.com to transfer my website for me?
After you have signed up, submit a helpdesk ticket through our secure helpdesk at https://www.whbsupport.com. The subject title should be ‘Account Migration: Domain.com’ (where domain.com is your domain name) and you need to include all of the account information from your old hosting provider (username, password, ip address). We’ll then transfer your account over within a 24 hour window, copying all of your files, databases and Cpanel settings.
I use Plesk/Ensim/DirectAdmin, will you transfer my website for me?
Unfortunately we can only offer the transfer service for Cpanel-Cpanel transfers; ie if you are moving from another Cpanel host. If you are moving from a different control panel, we advise you FTP any files to your desktop then upload them to our servers, and use PHPMyAdmin to dump and then restore any databases that may need to be transferred.
What does it cost for my website to be transferred?
Here’s the good news. Nothing at all! We’re continually going the extra mile to keep customers happy and this is our way of saying a little ‘thank you’ for choosing WebHostingBuzz.com to host your website.
I love you guys! Can I send you flowers/chocolates/wine to say thank you?
Well, we’ve been asked it before. But if we spent all of our time admiring the flowers, eating the chocolates and drinking the wine then our customer service would go out of the window. Root access is very dangerous, especially after wine! Instead, if you are happy with us we’d ask that you send in a nice testimonial that can be used on our website and to recommend us to your friends and family if they are looking for hosting advice.

I’ve been quiet for a few weeks with valid reasons. Firstly, and the least valid, is I took a week’s vacation to Crete. Enjoyed some sun, sea, sand with a few cold beers to wash it down. Perfect! The more valid is we’ve hired a very capable new administrator with whom I’ve been working on our managed dedicated server plans. The good news is the plans are coming together and we will be launching our managed server plans in the not too distant future – music to the ears for all those that have been asking about them, I am sure!

 Stay tuned.

These are from actual resumes:

“Personal: I’m married with 9 children. I don’t require prescription drugs.

“I am extremely loyal to my present firm, so please don’t let them know of my immediate availability.”

“Qualifications: I am a man filled with passion and integrity, and I can act on short notice. I’m a class act and do not come cheap.”

“I intentionally omitted my salary history. I’ve made money and lost money. I’ve been rich and I’ve been poor. I prefer being rich.”

“Note: Please don’t misconstrue my 14 jobs as ‘job-hopping’. I have never quit a job.”

“Number of dependents: 40.”

“Marital Status: Often. Children: Various.”

RESUME BLOOPERS

“Here are my qualifications for you to overlook.”

REASONS FOR LEAVING THE LAST JOB:

“Responsibility makes me nervous.”

“They insisted that all employees get to work by 8:45 every morning. Couldn’t work under those conditions.”

REASONS FOR LEAVING MY LAST JOB:

“Was met with a string of broken promises and lies, as well as cockroaches.”

“I was working for my mom until she decided to move.”

“The company made me a scapegoat – just like my three previous employers.”

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

“While I am open to the initial nature of an assignment, I am decidedly disposed that it be so oriented as to at least partially incorporate the experience enjoyed heretofore and that it be configured so as to ultimately lead to the application of more rarefied facets of financial management as the major sphere of responsibility.”

“I was proud to win the Gregg Typting Award.”

SPECIAL REQUESTS & JOB OBJECTIVES:

“Please call me after 5:30 because I am self-employed and my employer does not know I am looking for another job.”

“My goal is to be a meteorologist. But since I have no training in meteorology, I suppose I should try stock brokerage.”

“I procrastinate – especially when the task is unpleasant.”

PHYSICAL DISABILITIES:

“Minor allergies to house cats and Mongolian sheep.”

PERSONAL INTERESTS:

“Donating blood. 14 gallons so far.”

SMALL TYPOS THAT CAN CHANGE THE MEANING:

“Education: College, August 1880-May 1984.”

“Work Experience: Dealing with customers’ conflicts that arouse.”

“Develop and recommend an annual operating expense fudget.”

“I’m a rabid typist.”

“Instrumental in ruining entire operation for a Midwest chain operation.”
