The domain marked as owned and administrated by you so afaik you can transfer to another registry without involving your current one. Might take a few faxes etc…

well, if your site runs on WordPress, there are existing plugins that will give you a proper database backup, and file backup as well, so i just hope this is the case. Otherwise, look for your blog’s engine community help asking for a way to perform a global backup (database + uploaded media files).

good luck ! if u need help, feel free to email me.

As alternative hosting, check out dreamhost.com . They’re big, so strong, and cheap.

Hey Paul,

I found this nice step-by-step on moving wordpress from one hosting provider to another, while keeping the domain name the same:

http://cormacmoylan.com/blog/software/how-to-transfer-your-wordpress-blog-from-one-host-to-another-host.eire

Basically, the gist seems to be — backup db, copy all content / template files (entire wordpress folder basically using either through ssh into the system, or ftp), make a few changes in the settings, and then install wordpress in the new host, and then import the db again… repoint the domain.

I recommend going with a more known and stable hosting provider. I have used three of the four mention on the wordpress site (and all were pretty good):

http://wordpress.org/hosting/

Best,
Soum

Sad panda! ahahah Man, you should back everything up and move away soon as possible. Do you have FTP access? Which is your CMS?

Id suggest doing a backup of your whole site, that way, at the very least, you can put it up under a different domain.

Good luck, we dont want data is nature to wither and die!

Thanks a lot michael, It says on his site ‘We are open source geeks who are here to rescue you from the endless void of impersonal and unreliable web hosting’ Sounds like my kinda show.
