Hey bonmaklad,
The site isn't loading for me here, maybe I can try later.
Moving sites is tricky, am surprised that the hosting company didn't do that for you. They didn't have one move for free?
Ideally you should have updated the old site to the latest version of WordPress, then install the new version of WordPress in the new server, import the files and then the database.
Regarding the images, are you sure they are in the right folder? Can you access them via a direct link?
Can't say much without seeing the site. Can you check if it is up?
If you can get into your c-panel; try redirecting your domain to another website; then terminate the redirect; or even redirect it to itself. Sounds crazy but work for me switching from one server to another, but Staff Arun Basil Lal is correct, your host provider should offer atleast one site transfer with ever package purchase or upgrade. You could also ask them to look into this for you. My host provider is really good about this type of thing. lol I had them on a support chat for over 6hrs once.

yeah I think I am going to have to find another. I am paying something silly now like $105USD a month for a server that I can not seem to get what I want out of it!

Honestly, I thought you were on a cheap VPS, and was a bit skeptical when I suggested wp engine and linode, those are sort of premium services. 105 isn't really cheap.
Arun Basil Lal I agree with you 100% on hostgator. its who i use. Top notch support. Was going to refer him to them, but didn't know Wen Dev policy on referrals.

ok fixed the look of it, due to the wp_sitemeta being so big, all the tables below it wasn't there.
so now they are all there it looks way nicer.
but still no wp-admin
so I did the wp_sitemeta.sql in seperately
still doesn't work but at least I am 90% sure all the info is there now

ok literally it is a line called wdeb_wdws_history, that one line in the table, can not be included because it's too big,.

So is this resolved? Because I took a look and your site looks great!
Update: Aside from a few missing images in the slider on the Home page!

yeah the images seem to have disappeared.
also the admin page still doesn't work or sign up page :(

yeah now, I have caused some redirect loop
i'm with vps.net and they really do not want to help :P
fixed images, it's actually the theme problem.
I think you might be right. Maybe delete everything and then install another a fresh install....
hmm

Hello bonmaklad,
I honestly think you should consider a new host. You are gonna need their help all along and it is going to be much worse at a later stage.
I have used over 10 hosting companies, and from that list (which includes Dream Host, Blue Host, Godaddy, Site5 and more), Host Gator is the best.
Our users also recommend linode and wp engine.

http://www.linode.com/
http://wpengine.com/
Try one of these. Good luck!

just going to do a fresh install of a fresh ip. Also if I start again at least I can set up how I want to...
I only have around 20 clients, wouldn't take too long to re create them.

oh boy! 105 a month and this sort of service? I pay 7$ a month and they respond to every email in about 2 hours and does everything I ask them to.
Do they have a refund policy? Get your money back and run!

yeah but I have 3g of ram, 3gz power and 60g storage. Hostgator was very similar but without the ability to scale more efficiently :(
but I have my baby up and running now :)
cpanel is working so much better
loads of plugin issues to work through mind you :(
but all the issues I wanted sorted, have worked. Like the sign up page isn't redirecting and people sign up easier.
heaven on a stick :)

Glad you are getting back on your feet man :)
@MTB1701 - We don't have any policies on any matters. The point is to help each other and whatever gets that done is cool.
Feel free to refer a site or even promote yourself if you have something to offer, as long as you are not spamming around ;)
