View Full Version : Website transfer
My younger son has an art website at bizland.com which was free of charge.
They now wish to charge him $10 per month for webspace.
He tells me that it would be very difficult to transfer his site to another location.
Does anyone know if there's an easy way to transfer a website to another server? http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/confused.gif

I take it that he has his originally designed site safe on his hard drive?
Register with another free ISP: most give you 10 - 20 MB free space, and upload.
If he hasn't got his original files, then simply download them over the net.
Come back if you want more, or mail me.
Cheers. :)

If your son does not have an original copy you can get software that shall make an exact copy of the site onto a local disk. This copy can then be easily posted to a different location.
If you need anymore help post back and I can email you.
BS.
You can use this to make a copy of your sons site (or any other) URL: http://www.otway.com/webreaper/

It's not the destination but the journey that counts.

or you can use an FTP like terrapin http://www.tpin.com/eu/tpinftp/tpinftpsetoverintro.html which you can download and use free for a trial period - then pay 20 quid for a license if you like it.
This will allow your son to download the whole of his web and upload it to the new location.
If you do this, I suggest NOT allowing Trrapin to make "corrections" during upload if the site already works well.
