[Hidden-tech] web host problem - advice request

[dstevens at tryandfindit.com]

Hey Val,

Seems you will have some more lost time if you move anyway. 
If you do move, you should be able to select the time / date (over a
long weekend for sure)
If all it costs is $30 per year, and you wouldn't have this issue.....
you may have lost more than $30 while your clients couldn't find you...
Can you switch to a Dedicated IP address, the one they currently have
assigned you?

One last point,
Changing IP addresses, hosting companies, moving websites, always takes
longer than 24 to 48 hrs......
It takes a few days more just to get things to settle down....

I have always made these kind of moves over a long weekend,
to give you as much time as possible....
(even still, I have always had some issues)
