Hi all,
I am about to move my site from its current host (shared) to my new dedicated server. It's the first time I have done this un-assisted so I have made a list of "things to do" - could someone please have a look thru and see if I have left anything obvious out or if I could/should do something differently for better results;
1) Close my existing (old) forum on the shared server and request nameserver change
2) Download the database locally to my PC
3) Download all folders etc (icluding attachments and images)
4) Delete my test build of VB on my new server and delete database
5) Re-install both VB and the database (from old site)
6) Close the new forum
7) Install saved settings, styles etc
8) Test
9) Open the new VB forum
Thanks.
