I decided last weekend to move my blog from AQHost to GoDaddy. I was becoming extremely frustrated over the fact that the server my blog was hosted on was increasing going down and becoming not available. When I woke up Saturday morning and tried to access my blog, it was down. I had enough.
It took longer to get my account on GoDaddy up and running then I thought it would. It takes them a while before you are actually allowed to fully access your site and do things. Like upload files.
When I was finally allowed to install WordPrefect and import my blog, something went wrong. All of my categories were goofed up and all my links were gone. I went from 25 categories to over 1,800. Most were just random words seemingly picked from the æther. I actually tried to manually delete them. It wasn’t until I realized that not only did I not have any more links, I couldn’t even add links. It was then I decided I needed to just uninstall WordPress and delete the MySQL database and start over. Once I did that, I installed WordPress and then imported my blog.
It worked. I should have done it sooner.
