are you already using DotNetNuke? In this case you only need to transfer files and database and alter a few settings to get DNN running on a properly prepared hosting site, I would recommend to use a hoster, who is familiar with DNN, there are several advertising here. The host will also provide a proper mail server to get emails working.

Mel, if yu can recreate the content and have a copy of the skin, you can start with a new site on any host. of course, you need either to update the name servers entry for your domain or have an option to forward from current web site address to the new location.

Ever since they migrated to these "new" forums, I, too, have had serious problems with the DNN site...from no notifications to not being able to post to slooooooow response time to errors and the inability to search, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc...

I used to login everyday and just read the latest 2-3 pages of posts to continue to build my knowledge base of the platform, but with the current state of affairs, I no longer troll the forums, save tonight to see if things have improved. During my weeks on not being able to post to the forums, II was, however, able to download and install another platform in less time than it took to pull up the forums the other day, though...3 minutes to include installing WAMP. Wow.
