    is $230 a fair price to upgrade wordpress?

    I need to upgrse my wordpress and I was quoted a price of $230. is that good or high?
    I thought it wouldbe like $150.

    I did it myself once and it was a nightmare so I want a pro to do it, but hows that price?

                          get your host to install fantastico or installatron then it's only one click.

                          unless this is a joke.

                                                                                                                      That would be a pretty crappy host to force a novice person to setup code on a shared box.
                                                                                                                      Yeah, because the $20/mo they pay for shared hosting more than pays for the host's time, even if it is basically just ncftpput, upgrade.

                                                                                                                      I'm sure this question above involves MAJOR REVISION CHANGES between WordPress. If this involves making/changing plugins from 1.5.x to 2.7.$TODAY, $250 isn't that bad - if it's just for a simple minor upgrade/bump, that's highway robbery.

                                                                                                                                          I'm sure this question above involves MAJOR REVISION CHANGES between WordPress. If this involves making/changing plugins from 1.5.x to 2.7.$TODAY, $250 isn't that bad - if it's just for a simple minor upgrade/bump, that's highway robbery.
                                                                                                                                          To add or upgrade WP takes longer to upload than it does to install and setup. If it's already on my box, it takes 3 minutes to setup, less than 1 minute to upgrade old WP copies, now it's seconds.

                                                                                                                                          Heck, you can find youtube videos that are less than 10 minutes long that walk you through the entire setup, setting up the db, admin, and setting up plugins.


                                                                                                                                          You can go setup a blogger account, get a domain for free if you move it over to a host, then change it out with a WP blog, and you don't spend a dime. That's how simple it is.

They will charge you an incident fee if you are running unmanaged servers.

If this involves making/changing plugins from 1.5.x to 2.7.$TODAY, $250 isn't that bad - if it's just for a simple minor upgrade/bump, that's highway robbery.
                                                                                                                                                                                              That was what I was thinking. 1.5 to 2.8 or something. With all the plugins a person can have and they may have other customizations. 1.5 is not a just click to upgrade version of wordpress. It is nice to see GFY still has a ton of Newbies that don't think before they make smart ass comments.
