Hello,
I am new to Coffeecup but having a nightmare time trying to upload a new site I designed in VSD.

Seeing as I am about the create a new site for a new URL, I am wondering if anyone can suggest a web hosting company which they successfully use with CoffeeCup.

I was using 123-reg but I am finding their support hopeless - they will not give me a clear answer on what my www folder is - and without it I cannot upload my coffeecup site.

This is all very frustrating - I just want the site to go live - ASAP.

ALSO, I have been reading problems with individuals creating a site on one computer and then not being able to transfer it to a new one - is it best then for me to start fresh with this new site on the laptop I intend to make updates from?

I use godaddy and they are great.

Good luck.

Scott

Rix,

I use 1and1 and am happy with them.

To transfer your VSD files from one computer to another, you need to get all the files and have them in the correct locations. Be sure to get the VNU file and if that file is in the xyz directory, and your images are in a sub-directory, make sure that on the new computer if you put the VNU file in the abc directory, that you have the images file located in the same relative location.

Hope this helps.

I use Bravenet (the paid version, not the free version) and have had no problems with them at all for all of my CoffeeCup software...very user friendly!

I use 1&1 (www.oneandone.co.uk) and Hostgator (www.hostgator.com). They're both fine, Hostgator being somewhat cheaper though.

I have been using Name Unit Networks (Norway based), Dreamhost and AceNet, no problems whatsoever. I know from others that BlueDomino also is problem free.

I have also used AwardSpace which is free, but I don't recommend them as I've had some upload problems, and then all of a sudden they may close your site for I-don't-know-what reason.

Some of the CC ambassadors and advisors sell hosting, you could contact fpixie @ coffeecuphelp . com or krickman @ coffeecuphelp . com (remove the spaces from the mail addresses).

Personally I have been using www.pair.com for over 10 years and find their support and service top-notch.



This mostly have to do with the placement of your files. If you stick with the same directory structure (ie if you place all the files you use in D:\datafiles on one system, you can transfer them to another machine and put them in D:\datafiles again. But if you switch the names/locations (or just the drive letters) around, that is where people get into trouble since the path info is embedded in the .VSD file that you edit.
