One of the questions I am constantly wondering is “why are so many of the technology writers against Microsoft”. Seriously, this is actually one of those things I wonder all the time. They are not supposed to be “Joe Shmoe” that only knows that Microsoft was sued for being a monopoly (10 years ago) or some old perception. They are supposed to be “in the know”, “in the loop”, have a deep knowledge of the industry and let’s not forget journalists. Instead it is non-stop “bash Microsoft”. Sure Microsoft deserves their fair share of criticism. Microsoft has made sub par products or not kept up with the market, but who hasn’t made mistakes? But the technology writers root for Microsoft to fail and it doesn’t take reading between the lines to notice it.
I am in the process of moving over the sites I manage. In preparation of the move, I started looking into any issues of moving from the shared hosting environment and the VPS. The first issue is to modify the “wp-config.php” file to change DB information. From there you just normally FTP your whole site to the new hosting environment. Assuming the new “wp-config.php” file has the correct information you are essentially golden.
