After being with my current web host since 2004 I’m thinking about moving. To Holdfire, if so. My current host (ace-host.net) is great, I never had problems, my site was up and running, the support is great… BUT I have sooo much space I don’t need and soooo much bandwidth I don’t need as well. And, of course, for that I pay a little more. The only thing bothering me is that I don’t have add-on domains, with Holdfire I’d have that.
So now I’m in the process of back-uping everything! I’ve read articles on “how to transfer your web site to another host” and hope I’m all set. There’s also so much crap on the server, old pages, sites, images… I really need to delete those things.
Does anybody know – can I just let my hosting expire (just not pay) or do I have to cancel the account? Or is that different with every hosting service?
I just added Exec-PHP which is a plugin allowing you to add PHP into your WP content. Sweet!
I also added and removed some links, I haven’t updated that list in so long and a lot of links weren’t working anymore.
Holdfire is pretty good. I’ve just moved my host over as well as the previous one was giving me problems. I just let my previous host expires. I think it is different with every host, it’s better to check with your current host. For mine, say for example it expires in Dec, they will send me a new invoice 14 days before and if within 30 days I have not paid up, they will terminate the account and delete it.
Transferring to Holdfire would be a breeze, just let them know your cpanel details after you have paid up. They will do the transfer for you, mine got done within 24 hours. By the way, if your current host has yet to expire, perhaps you can check out Holdfire contract buyout plan. I think it’s quite beneficial.
Good luck with the move! 🙂
They’ll do the transfer? Oh, that’s great of course. Oh, I see it now on their site! That’s really great! Thanks for letting me know Dayna 🙂
OMG TRACY! I LOVE this design!
Sorry that was super off-topic hehe Good luck with your move!
Good luck with the transfer! I’ve heard good things about Holdfire, if I ever need to switch I’ll go there. 🙂 I’m always nervous to transfer servers, I’m sure you’ll do fine though!
