Last week I got a note from my hosting service. It seems they're closing down and I have to find another hosting service and transfer my domain. That doesn't seem to involve much more than giving some other service my credit card number. But transferring my site is a bit more complicated (or maybe not, I've never done this before so I don't know). I've been thinking about either upgrading to a newer version of Movable Type or switching to WordPress. To you, the reader, this really doesn't matter, but if you have any experience with either process, please feel free to pass on any tips, suggestions, or warnings.

Posted by: john at June 17, 2006 03:31 PMThanks! I looked at Fatcow, but I ended up going with Nexcess.net, and am probably paying more for extra handholding, but the process was a breeze. Too bad they don't have cow puns on their website, though.
It looks like everything survived the move and the upgrade.
