I am a bloghosts refugee and am happy to finally be on a working host. I signed up and paid last night and this morning I awake to find that my DNS has already propagated. I feel like I am in heaven. Almost.
I would very much like to restore my blog which had been hosted on bloghosts. I made backups before their computers went down via the cPanel backup function. I did just about every option given there--Full Backup, Home Directory Backup, and MySQL Database Backup.
I tried uploading my Full Backup to cPanel on TCH. Since there was no restore function called Full Backup Restore, I used the top option--"Restore a Home Backup". It looked like it was uploading and took about the right amount of time for a file of that size to upload on a dialup connection (3.5 MB took about a half hour). Then the screen said it was restoring files but didn't appear to be actively doing anything. I checked in File Manager and nothing seems to have uploaded or restored. Am I doing something wrong?
Does it matter that my bloghosts domain had been a .com and I now have a .net (since bloghosts wouldn't transfer ownership of my domain to me)?
Any help getting my old site back up here on TCH would be very much appreciated.
Thank you!
