What not to do when Changing Servers

So the biggest nightmare of most companies tends to be i.t. and other uncontrollable technical glitches that one may encounter.

The most recent problem that Coopers Pick ran into was it's venture into upgrading it's server due to the influx of traffic that has started to sprout up. The issue at hand here is that many do not understand that when switching over from a shared package to a Virtual Private server that the database in this case a my sql one may not be compatible in the new environment and needs to encompass a new interface of changes to properly work in the new environment.

So what happened here is everything got screwed up moving servers, my backend didn't work, and my horse racing picks page is still not updated due to having to point a new Cname to blogspot under a new host.

Oh and that doesnt include the email problems.

Lesson learned have an expert tech opinion from multiple sources before you make a move.
