Question about changing servers & switching sites around

KarahLeigh · December 12th, 2007, 2:58 PM

Okay so obviously I'm not new but I have a question about something I want to do.

My main site on my site is http://trackbunnies.org but I'm changing that site around and want to get a new package where my blog (currently an add on domain) http://trackbunnyfilms.com is the main domain and the stuff from trackbunnies.org is moved to a folder or a subdomain.

Couldn't I just do a complete backup of the site/server now and when I get my new package, etc just upload that, and then move the folders around and such, changing the config files of course so that the sites work with the right addresses etc.

So basically you'd like to switch the two domains out. trackbunnies.org (which is your MAIN domain) you want it to become a subdomain of your wanted MAIN domain, which will be trackbunnyfilms.com? Correct?

If so, then you will not have to purchase a new package, all you'll have to do is submit a ticket to the held desk asking for them to switch your root domain. Once you've done this, make a backup of your root files and place them in a folder/directory to create the sud-domain.

See I was wondering that but thought that they would charge me for it.

I'll submit a ticket and ask, thanks!
