Sounds about right, everyone else who says that it's worth $5 or free, obviously has never had a nightmare wordpress upgrade... it's pretty rare, but it's possible for the db to get corrupted in the upgrade, there could be a plug in incompatibility or some other fuckup... if you hire the $5 guy, and something goes wrong, it's likely your blog will not only be down for hours, but could also cost you an arm and a leg to repair...

exactly..

Hog Wash...any decent host will do this for you and as I said if they don't then they are the wrong host to be with.

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.

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.
