Ok guys, this is what I am going to do:
I am in the busy sending the registration and domain move papers to my new provider. They claim I can be moved over in 48 hours. Once these are sent in, I will bakcup this forum every hour, until it is being taken over. If I am not able to back it up due to me needing some sleep as well, I will deactivate the forum so nobody can post anymore. Then I will backup the site once more, and hope I will be switched in the morning. This is to assure no lost of posts and newly registered users.
When switched I will restore the DB, and hope all will go smooth in the process.
Just to let you all know, I might not be able to guarantee 0% down time
Regards,
- Jorgen
Switching soon now!

Hi!
No 100% guarantee????
I'm feeling the "forum-cold-turkey" coming.... Better start looking for a place where I can post in the meantime..

Thanks, I am all ready to switch. I backup this site every hour or so, I guess when the domain transfers I cannot reach this site nomore to get my latest stuff. I have tried to approach it with an IP address only, but end up at the hosting company's site ..
They said within 48 hours, I sent the papers yesterday afternoon, so it can take as long as tomorrow afternoon, we will see
At least when there is lot of space we can do more cool stuff here, and I am planning to look into a portal where people can post wxWidgets source code and maintain it (posting news etc). This to replace the Code Dump way of doing stuff which is ofcourse a bit cumbersome.

Ok, step one is complete. My current hosting service agreed to terminate the contract (there is a 2 months notification period and I was 2 weeks overdue so now I have to wait until the new hosting service takes over my registered domain.

Ok, some update on the migration:
- I imported the DB to my new hosting, using the mysql command line
- I moved the php code for the forum to the new hosting,
- Changed the DB login and location
If all goes well, this will work too; wxwidgets.solidsteel.nl, but it should also be accessible through the normal URL.
So now is the wait for the new domain to become active...
