Moving a established MGP? Concerns

[highschooldropout]

hello well i got a delima. I bought a 12k a day Mgp its on a dedicated server. But i want to move it to my own virtual host. Do i need to buy feeder traffic to feed the trade again once its back up? How much traffic can i lose? How hard is it to move a MGP wit smart thumbs and Arrow Scripts extreme scripts? Did you move a MGP before and how did it affect your traffic? What else concerns should i be worried about? Should i just leave it where it is?

The best way to do it is copy everything from the existing dedicated host over to your new hosting. Most control panel systems (CPanel, Plesk, etc.) have a "Site Preview" option that allows you to access your web site before the domain is switched over.. do this and get it fully functioning, then switch over the DNS records. As the DNS propagates, your surfers will either be redirected to the new site or still access the old site.. this will eliminate any actual downtime.
