It's not that hard as long as you've kept all the files that your site has
currently in one spot :)

It's a matter of personal preference really.  If the site is yours, and
yours alone, and you don't care what it looks like, then you can just move
what you want onto the new site via FTP.
If the site's not yours, and you need to have it exactly as it is now, then
you better have all the files or you'll have to download all the current
files via FTP and then upload everything via FTP as Graywolf has suggested.

Registering and setting up with the same provider offers some benefits:  you
always know and remember your password when it comes time to re-registering
your domain and you usually get a bit of a break on the price (depending on
the provider of course).  Registering with Network Solutions
(http://www.networksolutions.com) does offer you the benefit of "real" mail
coming to you that states your domain etc. but it costs a lot more.

Cheers,
Dave

Subject: OT: Web Site Domains


I want to set up my own domain.  There are numerous places where one can
register a domain name, and, of course, some are less expensive than
others.  Some offer mail forwarding and linking to my current site.
Others just register the chosen name.  My ISP will register a domain,
increase the size of my site, add a few perks, and charge me a lot more
than it seems other places charge.

How hard is it to move a web site?

What do you suggest as a good way to get a domain name - register and
set up a site with the same provider? With links? Or what?
