Hey Seacost, Thanks for the tips on moving to a new server. I’ve seen all that, and it may be the way I end up doing it. But if I can set up a temp site as described above (http://TheServersIPaddress/~username), then it’s the best of both worlds. No migration needed. Anyone using VPS.net?
If I use a sub-domain of my own website, how do I then get it from there to the new account that I set up for the client via cPanel? I’d rather set up a new account for the client and have it be a temp account until the nameserver is switched over.
I’m planning to do this on a new server account at VPS.net. Someone in sales said that you can’t create a temporary account there which seems odd. I recall doing it via cPanel at a different hosting company where the address was http://TheServersIPaddress/~username and to log into the backend of WordPress it would be http://TheServersIPaddress/~username/wp-login.php. This would be the easiest to facilitate. Anyone have experience with VPS.net?
