 * Installed on my live site and came back with ““Transfer Failed Due To Database
   Error!”
 * The website is very small and there is no database error. Reading thru other 
   support requests it would seem that I *might* need to increase the “max_execution_time”.
   But guess what – that’s not possible on a lot of shared hosting!
 * Plus if you’re migrating from a live site, then you need a temp domain on the
   Siteground site. But that no longer comes as standard since Siteground moved 
   away from cPanel.
 * So, all-in-all, the plugin is of little use and I migrated it all by hand. But
   lucky I know what I’m doing.

 * The fact the the plugin fails to transfer a dump of your database means that 
   most probably something on the old host is blocking this process.
 * In addition to that, you don’t need cPanel’s temporary URL since you can now 
   create your site with real, unique temporary URL for new accounts using Site 
   Tools.
 * I am glad that you’ve finally managed to move to us. If you experience issues,
   let our tech team know, they will happily help you further.
