   Which host are you going to? My account with Dreamhost runs out early next month, however I believe I will continue using them because they are unbelievably good. I’ve had 0 downtime in 12 months.

   Moving to Vidahost. Going smoothly so far, which I can’t say for my previous host who are a complete waste of time.

   Hmm lol, I’m moving to Vidahost too. Just waiting for my current host to remove my account. Bit concerned about moving the wordpress db though, not done that before

   Just look what you get!

   I can’t fault it. Especially as I got the ‘Crazy Domain Insane’ hosting for £7 for the entire year for 2006-2007 without anything saying I had to continue. I will now be paying around £6 a month which is nothing for what I get.

   230gb webspace
   2,552gb bandwidth
   3,000 email accounts
   75 FTP accounts
   Free .com Domain
   Unlimited Sub-Domains
   PHP 4/5
   Unlimited MySQL

   Hell, you can see from that link. I can’t fault them at all. Perfect.

   Darren,

   The Wordpress docs has a good walkthrough of what and how to backup here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress

   There is also an easier to digest visual guide they link to here:
