In the process of moving the aushealthinfo

In the process of moving the aushealthinfo.com blog to my new Hostgator web hosting account, I realsied that doing this sort of thing is not an easy task. It is definitly not a straight forward process to move an entire wordpress site, but I think I have done it ok.

• First I saved the sql database that was for aushealthinfo.com on my old server
• Next, I self installed the latest WordPress on my Hostgator server
• Created the SAME sql database name and user name as the ols one
• Restored the old database information to the new database
• Copied across all the plugins and uploaded images from the old server
• Then I configured the config.php file to the copied sql settings

Now all I have to do is iron out a few things that didn't quite work out as planned. But the site is up and functional.

Another busy day, but wierd too.

Well, had yet another busy day setting up the new site, should be up and running by mid February going by my R & D timeframe. Using Wordpress as a CMS for this site is a real learning curve. There seems to be a lot of variables that you just don't have to think about when using it as a blog.

All the different things in the CSS area really messes with you head in this mode, especially if you are used to html coding which is my preference. I am hoping that the supposed SEO benefits of Wordpress end up outweighing all the hassles I have had so far.

On another note, my site at http://www.aushealthinfo.com has been a total nightmare from this end of the world. My host (not hostgator, they have my new site and are great) swapped it to another server due to issues with the one it was on. I updated it and redesigned the look and theme for it. But now, even 2 days later, I keep getting the old site coming up half the time, even though it supposedly does not exist... Back to the host with more complaints I guess.

What a day!

What a day this has been, nothing but issues trying to get my Aus Health Info site up and running after it was moved from one server to another due to hosting issues from my old provider.

I have lost an entire day of R & D on my new site!

Not happy...

Thank god Hostgator is a better hosting company.

Hostgator Website

I have recently changed over to Hostgator.com as my web provider.

These guys are cool.

Though I didn't get my domain through them, they helped me to set it up really quickly.

They provide heaps of web space, an amazing amount of bandwidth and all the extras you could ever need, and all at an outstanding price.

If you are starting a new website, or have one already that is not performing quite as it should, then I would recommend you visit Hostgator.com today and make a change for the better.

I have and I am loving the difference.
