Service interrupted

I've signed up with Webbase to move my domain there. (Thanks Julia.) I had some queries and they were quickly answered, which is a good sign.

As it's 11pm I expect to get contacted tomorrow regarding the details of the move. As it's my first move I don't know what to expect. I'm currently taking a fresh backup of my entire site (excluding this post). I'll use blogger to republish everything once the new host is configured.

After that I'll start looking at new blogging software, but do not have urgency to move from blogger. B2evolution looks a likely solution, or WordPress.

For my news server needs I've signed up with TeraNews. A one-off payment of $3.95 gives me access to 50MB/day which is easily within my meager needs. I spend too much time reading blogs to read many newsgroups.

Update: As I'm still using Blogger, I can continue to post, safe knowing I can just tell it to publish all at the new site.

Update: The new host is all prepared to receive my site. I need to get the username/password to update the name servers (I think). The details listed against my site include an old email address I've now reinstated. I sourced my domain via my ISP, and having used their web based contact form to ask for my the bits I need I'm now stuck with waiting for a response. It's been about three hours so far.
