any Web hosting experience ” I want to upgrade my shared hosting to dedicated hosting” ?

I want to upgrade my shared hosting to dedicated hosting ? do i lose any thing of my hosted content , i mean if i upgraded my website shared hosting to dedicated what may happen to my website page .

Chosen Answer:

If you are upgrading with the same company that hosted your shared hosting, then a good hosting company should help you make a nearly seamless transition.

Even if you have to handle the transition yourself, I’m not sure why you’d lose anything. All of your databases, content, etc. should be in folders accessible to you, so you should be able to download everything before you shut the old service down and copy files to the new server as needed.

    If it were me, I’d upload everything from fresh into a test bed. See if it’s perfect and then re-point the URL.

    Sorry, if this is great answer but has nothing to do with your question…

    No, you can do that without any problem.

    And my recommended dedicated service:

    Cheap, reliable! They have a really great service & I have used them for over 10 months now, and have never had a single problem with them.

    GL!

    You can contact with the Dedicated web hosting service provider to check for you, if the Dedicated web hosting provider can offer the upgrade service, that would be the best choice for you.
