I would like to pay to switch servers.

[Matt]

i wish to move to the new server. i have some questions first. how fast is the average account transfer? is it from the backup or just current data transferred. if its the backup, how recent is it?

 

[bigguy]

Well I think they copy your site from where it is to the business server and then it takes a bit for the DNS to kick in and go through its changes. So I guess it would be about maybe 24 hours I think.

 

[Matt]

has any body done this and can say for sure?

 

[Corey]

Bigguy is correct, it is whatever is currently up and can take up to 24 hours normally.

[Matt]

great! so my site will be unavailable then?

 

[bigguy]

yes for a short while.

 

[Matt]

when you say for a short while, you mean for the time it transfers or like when they start it transfering?

 

[bigguy]

When they copy your site to the time the DNS changes (short while) the whole thing will take about 24 hours sometimes not even that long.

 

[Matt]

oh, i think im gonna do it.

would i pay when its done transferring?

 

[bigguy]

No I think you would pay before they transfer you. They would most likely have to recieve your payment and the the transfer would take place.

 

[Matt]

if it doesnt work or there is trouble, i would get a refund, right?

 

[bigguy]

Yes I would imagine, But why would it not work ?

 

[Matt]

you never know.

 

[bigguy]

Your right, you never do. But I really dont think anything would go wrong that the admins here couldn`t handle.

 

[Corey]

Your site will stay available, the only difference is while it propagates some people will see it on one server and some the other.
