Cephiros, The One Winged Angel

Well folks, you may have not noticed it but the blog has been fully moved over to my new host. I’m waiting for the rest of my domain to move over to the new host so I can make some other changes. Basically, what I did was make a backup of all the tables from database on the old host. In adddition, I made a full backup of the Wordpress install from the old host.

On new host, made a sub-domain for blog.cephiros.com, processed a new wordpress install. This created a new database with a different name. On the old host, made backups of the tables. Went into the configuration panels for new database on the new host. Dropped all the tables and imported the tables from my old database.

That’s that, going with a different program for my gallery and I will start to update that more often.

Just wanted to make a quick post since I just changed to the new name servers over to my new host. If you access my site currently at this time it will still appear normal. In addition, my livejournal crossposter plugin will post this to my livejournal. I’m really nervous about this move because really my blog is the most important thing about my current website and the thing I’ve put the most work into.

I’ve already done a full SQL database backup. In addtion, I’ve done a backup of just my SQL tables. I can already import the backed up tables to the new host’s Wordpress install which made a new database. Unfortunately, I cannot change the SQL database name at this time but hopefully I can change it soon.

So, if you’re wondering what is going on with my blog, this is the reason why. I had Dreamhost for over a year but the problems I had recently and the lack of help made we want to change from them.
