Migrate Wordpress to New Hosting Server
My earlier post mentioned that I was upgrading my blog to Wordpress 2.8. Finally, after some hard works, I have managed to set up my blog on the Wordpress 2.8 platform on a new hosting server.
I am also doing some tweaking to my wordpress theme to bring in some new feeling and experience to my readers. If you do have any suggestions, do feel free to drop me a comment and I will be happy to hear from you.
Wordpress Migration to New Hosting Server
Migrating wordpress to a new hosting is not really a painful experience. I was quite hesitate to migrate due to fear of trouble or breakdown. After some consideration, I have decided to consolidate all my sites to a common server in order to reduce my running cost. In case if you are running multiple sites and like to lower your running cost, you might want to consider a multiple domain hosting plan. Just for your information, I am using Lunarpage
and I found it the cheapest option to give me everything that I want. Lunarpage page is offering Unlimited storage and Unlimited transfer from only $4.95
. This is the best plan that I can find allowing me to host multiple domains.
