i finally figured out what was wrong and why I couldn't upload my site onto the new host server I have set up on lunar pages. the reason was simple but took me a while to realise. I had not changed the DNS on my domain name to co-inside with lunarpages.... hence when I logged onto the FTP program it had NO idea what I was asking for. ahh well easy mistake to make Im sure. (translation: is a dumb ass)
so, why the change of server I here you (translation: no one) ask. simple really. the host server I was currently using did not offer MySQL, which is vital to use wordpress, as part of the basic package. I would have had to pay £160 for the privilage. However with Lunarpages it is part of the price, as well as a lot of other nifty features. the only down side with lunar pages is that it has a bandwith limit where as fasthost did not... but I doubt I'll be reaching that any time soon. if it does come to a point where I reach my quota on a regular basis I will consider upgrading, though it will cost me a lot more. but I will not worry about that just yet. in stead I'll be happy its finally all sorted and I can focus on the webcomic again.
