Can anyone help or recommend anyone who can, to take over the hosting of
my domains at Gradwell and move them to another platform? I really
don't have the time (or expertise/confidence) to do this myself.

What I have is really small and simple. 7 domains, only 1 with a (very!)
static website with virtually no traffic to it. Mostly email; 17
mailboxes across the domains (for my business, family and a couple of
friends). Low volume, when Gradwell last allowed me to see what disk
space I was using it was at c 3000MB.

TSOHost would certainly be worth considering. They offer a free
migration service for the web site which I have just used and it was
very straightforward. The Professional package would cover six of the
domains for £49.99 a year (plus domain name charges) and unlike Gradwell
the support is very good (telephone answered within 10 seconds at 10pm
at night earlier this week). They offer cPanel and Cloud hosting and I
have both types of account at the moment but will be moving everything
to the Cloud hosting when I have time as for my purposes it is easier to
manage.

I have recently moved to TsoHost. Although I chose to move my domains,
web sites and e-mail settings myself, bit by bit, TsoHost do offer to do
the whole thing for you - see
<https://www.tsohost.com/web-hosting/migrations>. I wonder whether
anybody else still here has used this service?

(If you decide to go to TsoHost, I can offer you a coupon code,
10percent2017, which gives you 10% off whatever service you buy - it
also credits me with the referral and pays me a pittance.)

I moved some of my domains to TSOHost some years ago, and whilst generally
they have been good, I am intermittently finding that SSH access to one of
my cPanel accounts fails (the attempted connection hangs either after a
correct password or the private key has been presented, depending on
whether authentication is by password or key-pair).

Last time it took them two days to fix this (19th to 21st February), and
it failed again two days later (on 23rd February). I noticed it had failed
yesterday and am now going backwards and forwards with TSOHost support on
the problem and they are not performing well.

Is anyone else experiencing SSH problems with TSOHost?

Just tested one site (cloud) (sftp) (password) and that worked fine.

I can only recall one specific instance of a Tsohost SSH 'incident'
over several years but then I don't get around to much site
development/maintenance as I would like. There has been the odd
occasion on a site I have not worked on for some time where I have had
to disable/re-enable SSH for that site and thereby obtain new password
as the previous one failed.

I have two different cPanel accounts.

One has never had any problems with SSH access. The other has now failed 4
times: once in December 2015, once in February 2016, then again on 3rd
February 2017 (I didn't notice until 19th February and they took 2 days to
fix it), and it then failed again on 23rd February. I didn't notice until
yesterday and support are not making much progress on fixing it.

I have to say that I think TSOHost technical support is getting worse -
I'm currently waiting for a reply to a response to this ticket that I
posted 4 and a half hours ago.

I hope TSOHost are not getting too big and starting on a downhill slide.
