Don't you just love changing servers and reconfiguring whole sites.. That's what my weekend consisted of for the digital-diy.com site..
It's hosted in the US now, Aussie hosting companies just cant compete with foreign hosting. There is not a single unlimited plan in all of AU, and anything over 50GB bandwidth is upwards of $100 p/mth.. I was on a 5GB/mth bandwidth, needless to say that gets eaten pretty quick.
The painful period is the DNS propagation. I left it for around 10 hours before starting any real migration, and could you believe it, the DNS actually reverted back to the old name servers mid migration - sigh. There was about 4 hours of recovery after that.
Anyway, its finished now, and lets hope it doesn't need to be done again for many years to come
