I have all my sites hosted by godaddy but is there something else better out there where i could just simply transfer my sites over without loosing anything?

GoDaddy is known for being a horrible host. They are a great domain registrar, but lack in the hosting department. That goes for pretty much all domain registrars.

Last I heard, GoDaddy uses a proprietary control panel, so whether or not you can just transfer your sites without losing things, I'm not sure. Your best bet is probably going to be to back up all the databases manually, then restore those on the new host, and re-upload the rest of the files manually via FTP.

Godaddy is no longer a good domain registrar, since they announced their support on SOPA, lol!

There are many good hosting providers that you could choose instead, many will seamlessly migrate your sites for you too. Check the offers section of this forum, I'm sure there are a few hosts that will meet your needs.

Try making a request on here with approximately what your requirements are. There's thousands of hosts watching this place any of which might be able to suit your needs better than GoDaddy can. The smaller hosts all have something that big names like that don't- we have the ability to custom fit your services to match your needs so that you save money without sacrificing the speed and power your site demands.

A little more details as mentioned would be good. There is much better than Godaddy out there. To them everybody is just a number and it shows when you talk to them.

GoDaddy used to be good... and then they found out spending all their capital on a few girls wasn't a good idea.

I think if you want to transfer all your files to the other host, you may do it with no troubles. Godaddy is decent enough for that.

This company has both positive and negative reviews.

I personally love GoDaddy. Been a customer with them for years now. I've never had any problems with their hosting plans or support.

Well,

You do not migrate your websites just like that. If you have a good experience with one web host, you'd better stay with it, no matter what's its name and whether it gets positive or negative reviews.

Yes you can transfer your files easily without any harm. there are many other which would more cheaper than GD.

You can transfer your site to any hosting company who provide free transfer. GoDaddy is using thier custom control panel. In case of standard control panel like cPanel, it is very easy to transfer sites from one host to other.

Thats a good point but to put the other side across, if you do select a 'smaller' provider then you must be sure that they can 'afford' to stay in business.

In all respects, I would choose a smaller provider over these flash over-rated host 'banks' but making sure your research is done first.

Why go smaller? Why don't you just move to Name.com or FXdomains.com or something simular.
