Moving one site from one hosting to another is difficult. I have this experience too. Lucky me, I am moving from lunarpages to in-motion hosting. People from in motion hosting offer me transfer for free. because the cpanel I use in lunarpages is the same with cpanel I use in in-motion. Therefore they can simply backup and restore. You know what, I have 6 domains and all transfer for free…

You’re right, i know enough to set up my own sites, i’m still learning some things about wordpress, but i’ll get there soon. About authority site center, i have two excelent books, that i think you’d really like. I’ve left you a message about that in your other blog. they’re very good.

Ah – I get it now. Well I’m not sure but I think Holly’s offeris more for people who are really new and don’t know how to set up their first site. Since they will have to pay for hosting anyway, they might as well get her to set up a site for them for free, and in return they sign up for hosting through her affiliate link.

From what I remember it seemed that you know enough of WordPress that you wouldn’t need that. I would recommend you get WordPress for Dummies if anything and continue to use what you are learning from the Authority Site Center … you are a member of that, right?

Thanks for coming by and commenting! I’m happy for my new blog to have some attention.

P.S. At some point I will post some lists of recommended WordPress plugins and tweaks, and eventually maybe some tutorials for complete beginners to get their self-hosted WordPress blogs started.

Hi Anna

I wasn’t thinking about changing my site, i’ll keep with hostgator, i’m happy with them. What i meant was trying a new site with bluehost, using Holly’s offer of making a website. That was it. Your new blog is really rocking, i like it really.

Hi there. Well, I am not sure why you would switch, unless you are having a problem with Host Gator? Yes I think Bluehost does give a free domain name. But domain names are not that expensive anyway. On Godaddy you can usually get a .info name for $2 per year and .com is maybe around $10 per year. So I wouldn’t change webhosts for that.

Changing webhosts is the biggest headache I’ve experienced online, since I had WordPress blogs when I did it. The whole thing took many hours of time and trouble over a period of several weeks. Maybe it doesn’t have to be that way but it was for me.

Remember that Bluehost won’t transfer your sites for you. You will have to pay through their expensive service which is like … $70 for one site, or so. And if you try to do it alone when you aren’t really sure how … ouch. I DON’T recommend it if it isn’t necessary!

Thanks for your comment and feedback!

I also have hostgator for my site (only site for now)and i’m very happy with them, but i’m thinking about using bluehost too, i think they also have the fantastico button for wordpress, and it seems you have your domain name for free. Do you know if that is so? How does it work? Very good your post
