hi,
thank you both for your replies. i am completely new to managing a website hosting because like i said before mine is 'managed' by someone else for me. i give him the pages i want on the web site hosting and he does it all for me. but i need to think about doing it all myself as he isnt always around.
anyway, enough of that. my domain is a .co.uk one. i dont know if you need the full address or not, let me know if you do.
i know i have paid for the domain name so i am assuming it will be transferred to here if this is where i chose.
now i start to get lost when you start talking about contol panels and things about
private server, (i told you im no good with computers
) i need something that is going to be easy to look after and that i can do myself on my
private server.
i am wondering if it would just be easier to redesign the web site hosting rather than try to keep the other one going as i really have no idea about how it has been done. can i take all the data and just put it into a new
private server? its the forum i really want to keep as it is because i dont want my members to have to rejoin or anything. is it easy enough to design a website hosting? is there anything that will help me set things out if i was to go with eukhost? basically my experience of designing a website hosting was an msn groups one, and they kind of set it all out for you, you just tweak it to how you want it. im sorry if i sound very green at this, but i have to admit that i am!
i have full admin control of the forum, the other guy just sets all the website hosting up and hosts the web site hosting for me on the
private server. however i cant download any addons to the forum, that has to be done by this other guy
i have just looked at the admin control panel for the forum and yes i can back up the database, but i will be honest and say that i dont understand it all, but in answer to your question i am able to do it
i dont have any access to the 'guts' of the website hosting though. all i can do is look at it! i have had no idea how it was put together or anything. sorry i cant be more help on that. this is why i am thinking it might be better for me to just put all my info onto a brand new site???
im sorry to be so awkward
