Hi Sorry - bit of a poor title for this thread and also not sure if this is the right place for this question... Anyway - I've just set up add on domain for what will be my new site - hosted at the same place as my other website. It's not a sub-domain so it can be accessed directly using it's own domain name. I was going to install wordpress here but I suddenly had a thought - what if later down the line I wanted my new site to have it's own space completely on a server? What if my host suddely died (not that I think that'll happen as they are darn good and been going for quite a while). Could all my entries be moved intact to become the main domain registered to my host or transfered to another host? I'd appreciate your advice on this - one of my skills is being a forward thinker - and also one of my greatest sources of procrastination! Too many 'what if's' sometimes! Lily
Wordpress is just a database and some PHP files. Export the database, zip up the files, and put it all on a new server. You can do it in 10 minutes.
hey..i been giving a thought also about this problems..let's say you been running the wp site for almost 2-3 years and lots of traffic and data inside the database and suddenly without warning your server down or died (not likely) it may cause a major problem with you...maybe a wp database backup can solved that. and always make backup of your theme..i know some theme had some custom or manual input code inside even you're using a free theme..don't want to do it all over again..
Hi Mich alex Good point that - haven't even got as far as sorting out the design yet but it's something to put on my list of things to do - and things to learn how to do
