Preparing to move

I’m getting everything ready to move to another web host. My freebie plan from 1&1 runs out next month. 1&1 has been pretty good but I’ve had trouble with them lately. Specifically, access gets really slow and I can’t get a reason why. My new host is Nexcess thanks to a sweet deal that couldn’t be beat.

The only thing I have to work with is getting the WordPress install to recognize the new file locations. It’s not a big issue since it’s only a couple of files and a single database entry that I have to change the absolute file path in. I’m hoping to have it all done this weekend.

My flight home yesterday, from Jacksonville, went well until the landing. It was really rough but you know what they say. Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.

    You could probably use phpMyAdmin and download all your tables and all as csv files then upload back onto nexcess’ server.

    Which plan did you go with?

    I used the DB Backup plugin in WP to save the tables. It saves it as a gzipped file that can be uploaded via phpMyAdmin. That worked without a hitch.

    I went with the Lineman plan. ;)
