Hi,

I’m the main developer for a company website and we NEED to change hosts. I am worried about the process, but luckily the site is still static (has no customer database, no database at all). But we have things like a forum (phpBB). What is the downtime if something goes wrong?!?!

I figured this out on my own in moving my shared hosting business, there are two unfortunate things here though:

1) I didn’t move from my colo to iWeb
2) I’m paying four times as much at my new location and having more problems that where I left

The good thing is that I the one dedicated hosting customer I had, I moved to a dedicated server at iWeb and I’ve had no problems.

20/20 hindsite sucks!

:^)

Wandered over here from a google search (feeds not working)

I swapped hosts yesterday. I followed all the steps that you suggested so feeling rather proud of myself :) this is a great list and I wish I had it when switching as confirmation. Everything seemed to work well (fingers crossed)

Alas it seems I have lost all my subscribers into cyberspace…

I added the link in case you didn’t notice it.

I changed the comment, for you, to get you time to fix it.

So far I have been very pleased with iWeb, I am using the shared service for now as it meets my needs. Thanks for the info on the about page, but that part of the site is still under construction. Is it recommended to put something there for the meantime until I get it finished?

Thanks for the guide even though it is a little late for me :) I switched from a nasty host in Toronto, hostpapa, to iWeb and it was not to bad of a switch for me.
