Default Few Questions :)

I am currently considering switching from another host (Lunarpages) due to a bottleneck that I am currently facing. I am looking at hosting adult content (possibly videos) yet I do not want to start immediately with a dedicated server (With LP you must have dedicated to host adult content). Eventually, if things go well I would upgrade my plan to a dedicated server when I start getting enough people to the website.

My questions

1. If I get a basic hosting plan here, is it easy to upgrade from shared hosting to dedicated with just a simple upgrade? As in, I just tell HostGator and they will do everything to make it happen and I do nothing on my part?

2. I registered my domain with Lunarpages, is there any documentation on how to get my domain to move to here? I have been doing websites for about 10 years, but I have never needed to use another hosting company so I am actually new to aspect.

Thanks

Good day,

For your first question, it's fairly easy but does require some input on your side as well. Basically, all you have to do is go to http://www.hostgator.com/dedicated.shtml on the day you are ready to upgrade, and purchase a new dedicated server. Then, once it's set up, you can request a transfer of your content here: https://secure.hostgator.com/reselle...rdedicated.php
That's the extent of what you need to do.

For your second question, there's documentation here: http://support.hostgator.com/article...-domain-to-you
You will need the EPP authorization key from LunarPages to complete the form.

If you have further questions, don't hesitate to submit a support/sales ticket. Thanks!

Also, once everything is transferred you would want to cancel the shared plan so you are not charged again for it.
