I'm about to request that I be moved to a different server (to use PHP5), but before I do would just like to know anyone's past experience with being moved to a different server @ Bluehost... (Not necessarily because of PHP).. Did everything get moved okay? Addons working after the move? Basically, with the exception of some downtime during the actual move, were there any issues as a result of the move?

My experience so far with Bluehost has been great - a couple of small teething problems when I first joined up but they were fixed quickly.. Moving servers @ my previous hosts was always a complete nightmare, and pretty much ended with me having to ditch everything and start from scratch, and so if there's a high chance of problems with BH, then I'll just leave it as is..

Cheers..
Kai

yes everything goes well. It usually takes 1-4 hours to complete the move. But everything remains in tact. You shouldn’t notice any differences
