    If i have a website hosted with Dotster from few years back, and it has webpages and photos uploaded onto it, and now i want to transfer that domain now name to namescheap,

    what will happen with the live pages that are already uploaded on the site,
    -will i have to transfer them?
    -take them down and reload them when i have transfered them to the new domain service (namescheap) or don't have to do anything,
    - wil i have to reload them? after the namescheap transfer ?
    -as the transfer is simple and the pages will just remain there....?

    n.b- I am using a seperate company for hosting this site,

    If you are changing to another server, you need to reupload all your files, databases and setup new passwords for it!.

    Backup all of your files and database , and upload them to your new server , then manually update new database ...
