Alright, sorry I haven't posted on this in a while, but I have been waiting for the old host to get me the info that was needed.
In the process, we lost the domain starfoxwiki.org
to squatters. I have purchased starfoxwiki.info
and will be using that when I get all my ducks in a row.
as for the rest:
1. gotten new domain. Fixing nameservers now.
2. moved files to my hosting, uploaded and set up webhosting account on my server
3. getting database soon and then will be uploading it. There is some techincal difficulties with this, so I needed some help from the old hosts tech support.
4. fixed up my host's DNS
after all of that is done
5. I am going to be upgrading it to 1.19.2
6. fix up all extentions to modern standards, removing the ones I no long use, adding ones I do now, etc.
7. fixing up the CSS and Javascript that are out-of-date.
*exhales*
hope that helps.
