QUOTE(Zepx @ Feb 2 2010, 08:44 PM) yes everything will be the same. The difference is that everything is managed by you. If something happens, no one can help you, but you yourself and the forum. In fact, you get to have more customization which is more of a pro than a con. i see.... btw, since now my blog is hosted by wordpress, and if i move to self-hosted, how long will be the down time of my blog when transfering to self host? and since i just purchase the domain 2 weeks ago from wordpress, isit possible to change to a new registrar so soon? |

QUOTE(Zepx @ Feb 3 2010, 05:04 PM) It depends on how well you do your transfer, if you know the correct steps, then it is possible to do it with 0 downtime. 1) ahh i see...means that 48hours is consider downtime d?1. Domain takes a maximum of 48 hours to update it's nameserver. 2. Did you purchase the domain name via wordpress? Usually, if you bought it yourself and there are no contract, then you are definitely free to transfer to another registrar. 2) yeap, i purchase from wordpress.... |
