I am in a big jam.  I need to move 30 websites from a Hosting.com Virtual Server (Windows VPS Builder .NET plan)  to a new hosting provider.  I do not want to reinstall all 30 websites.  All of these websites are single page with low traffic (think of a parked page).

All of the sites are DNN version 4.09.

Two questions:
1. Is there an easy way to move these websites without a lot of hassle
2. Are their companies/consultants that can do the move if it is complicated

Any direction would be appreciated.

Are you talking 1 DotNetNuke installation with 30 portals, or 30 installations with 1 portal each?

Hi Gregg
If you want to contact me through my website - http://www.xd.com.au - I am happy to assist you - we consult on this and have migrated, upgraded, split, deployed, repaired and optimised hundreds of dnn sites.

In May we moved to a new provider meaning we had to move from dedictated servers to virtual, with over 160 databases and around 300 sites, so there's not much that we can't do.

I suggest you consider upgrading at least to DNN 5.6.3.

30 portals on a single build is not, in my opinion a large task.

Don't stress too much.. Life is too short and it's only multiplied becuase you have 30 clients who will give you grief in other ways - which I can explain how you need to handle via an email.

Backing up and restoring the sites isn't difficult to do, I just went through the process myself moving to AppliedI.net last month.

Though if you want to have someone do it for you I would suggest checking out our Partner directory for those companies who have experience and manpower to handle such tasks.
