Hello, I'm trying to move servers again I have problems everytime is seems I tried restoring via PHPmyAdmin but I get a timeout, I'm really looking for some help I don't quite understand SSH I do have access but then again it doesn't matter because I have no clue in how to use it. I really need some help here, If anyone could give any good tips on moving servers fast and simple. Keep in mind I have no knowledge for SQL at all. I'll give you my server specs below.
