I am still getting familiar with the script and therefore using smaller webhosts.
Lets say one or two of them kick me out later on or i wanna kick their ....
How much of a pain it is to migrate files from one host to the other?
How is it done?
And finally and most importantly - do we have to rename/ edit file urls etc which would be quite a bit of work?
Thanks in advance for any tips.

well it depneds how you like to move everything
if you just switch host then it can be done easy
it is a bit of work , but you keep everything
i preffer to make a tar/zip file of the complete home folder
after you are on your new host , just replace it with your backup
try to replace the mysql and keep all things the same
then you got a easy migration
you can do it also differend , but that is a lot more work
make a single file backup (tar/zip or so ) from the files you like to move
make a mysql backup
on the new host , do a clean install
restore the mysql backup
restore the zip files with the downloads
if everything went right , then you should be moved
also it can be possible that you need to edit the server id ( if you got more then 1 fileserver ) to match the same server id as in the database
hopely this can help you a little

Thanks a lot for explaining it properly PowerChaos.
The only question I have is - How the hell can one easily move a gigantic 500 GB tar file to another server? Is there an easy way?

a easy way ??
and then a long wait time
a other way ?
well , the best is to use wget , use it in putty ( ssh ) and use it in a screen ( screen is a program for linux to allow background tasks to run if you get dc or close the console )
