Hello all,
New guy here!
I've been asked to take over working on a site for a non-profit org that I'm a part of. I'm not a professional by any means, just the only one with any relevant experience (working with html/css/php on another site) ...
Anywho, the site that I'm 'inheriting' is on a Windows-hosted account, and someone previously set it up for dotnetnuke. Given that all my limited experience is with Linux/Apche/PHP/MySQL, this puts me at somewhat of a loss as to what files do what, what can be tossed, what *has* to stay, etc.
So far as I can tell, the actual site itself consists of about 6-7 pages, and a directory for storing images used in those pages. I don't *think* they are using anything from dotnetnuke... I think they are just using plain html/css as far as I can tell.
Since I'm the one tasked with running this thing, I've gotten essentially blanket permission to do what needs done to make it workable for me to update and maintain. As such, I'm strongly leaning towards having the account switched over to a Basic plan - I have zero desire to learn anything .Net related, and it'd be a tad cheaper in the long run anyways. The only caveats are they don't want any (significant) down time if there is a swap over, and they want to retain the web-based emails associated with the account.
So... I guess my question is this: if I contact Lunar Pages customer support about switching over to a Basic account, what could/should I expect? How much or how little will they (LP) migrate over? I plan on making a backup (pretty much the first thing I did when I got login access was mirror the site directory via ftp, but I'll do it again just to be sure) before hand, but will the account be essentially 'wiped clean' and there will be *nothing* on the site until I get things uploaded and sorted out? Thats actually not a bad thing, assuming I'm right about what files I really *need* out of the several *thousand* littering that site directory... Will the web email accounts be affected at all?
TIA,
Monte
