hi,
please be gentle with me, this is my 1st post.
i am looking to move my website hosting from the host it is with to a new one and I need a
private server. the reason for this is because the web site hosting was set up by someone who cant look after it for me anymore and so i need to take it over and setup on a
private server. the person who set it up did it on his own
private server so i have had nothing to do with the whole set up of it.
i want to be able to look after the web site hosting myself rather than rely on someone else to do everything for me. as you may have guessed by now, im not so good with all the technical side of things of a private server
anyway, my website hosting is not huge, it has several pages, but it does have a forum (phpbb) that i would like to take with me as it is all set up and has posts that i don't want to lose. i also own the domain name.
what i want to know is can i transfer my website hosting to eukhost without too many complications and can i move my forum as it is or would i have to start all over again on a private server?
i dont mind so much redoing the website hosting, as i have all the info saved and its easy enough to put it onto a new site(says she who is not that brill on computers!), but i do want to try and keep the forum as it is. maybe it might be better for me to redo the website hosting anyway so can learn how to do it?
i need something that is easy for a beginner to do and look after.
does anyone understand what i have written? if anyone out there can offer me any advice then i would be very grateful. would i be able to run the phpbb forum on the bronze package or do I need to consider a private server? im sorry to sound so untechnical.
many thanks in advance for any help.
