Hosting Etc.

I have been giving bravenet a trial run under the free hosting and I am pretty pleased so far. I am thinking about upgrading to the premium service, but now that I have my pages uploaded I was wondering is there going to be broken links when I upgrade? since bravenet will drop the bravehost.com. I also have a domain name that I would need to transfer and I really do not know how to go about doing it. Is there anything else I will need to know before I upgrade my service? Thanks so much !!

Re: Hosting Etc.

There is no link between the use of a domain name and premium hosting.

I can't help on the mechanics as my domain is hosted elsewhere but check out Courtnie's posts as that has been covered before.

Re: Hosting Etc.

if your links are "relative" instead of "absolute" then you should be ok.

example...

if your link goes to
href="Mypage.html"
then as pages stay in the same place to each other, it will still find it.

if your link goes to
href="http://subname.bravehost.com/Mypage.html"
then that will have to be fixed to find the page in the newer corrected place.

Re: Hosting Etc.

I love Bravenet Pro. I have been using it for a couple of years now, and I design sites for other people so I always recommend Bravenet.

You won't necessarily have to "transfer" your site, but I would recommend it.

If you need help with any issues, contact me on Yahoo nightmare1158 and I will help all I can, I do know a bit about the workings of the site, although I am not anything but a user here.
