438273	2006-03-15 02:00:00	I have a website hosted on a company's server and I am wanting to transfer it to a DIFFERENT company's server, how does this work? Would the company have to Physically move the server from one hosting company to the other? I don't know much about the process.

More important, does your web site have any "active content", such as Frontpage extensions, DotNet, PHP, ASP, Perl, CGI, ... This can include things like page counters, email processors, shopping carts, guest books, ...	kingdragonfly (309)
