Also, most people do not realise that wordpress.com is infact a demo of their services and not meant for a full blown usage as a blog.

Search engine traffic stayed pretty consistent... even though the move also included a switch of my domain provider, which can sometimes upset the google gods a bit.

I too have one concern though: how does such a switch affect traffic to your site? Running blogs myself dealing with <a href="http://jaybanks.ca/vancouver-real-estate/" rel="nofollow">Vancouver real estate</a>, it's only natural I want all the traffic I can get. Any special tips and tricks on your part? It's quite a series of steps. What tools did you find the most convenient in doing the job, and how do you manage it now?

If you do find that code can you post it? I made a change to my .ini file according to some advice I was given but it doesn't appear to have worked. Thanks for the tip.

I had to insert one line of code that let me upload larger files, and once I found that code (don't have it in front of me), I then just uploaded the revised php.ini file to the server. I decided to go to Media Temple mainly because they have a better reputation than most for being able to handle a large amount of traffic. I've seen too many of the blog hosts go down when traffic picks up and I'd rather pay a bit more to ensure that doesn't happen to me should I ever be interesting enough to drive some real traffic! ;) No issues with the php.ini changes other than I had to figure out how to do it.

I did it onour hosting account and for some reason the changes didn't seem to take affect for a little bit. We ended up hosting ours over at bluehost where did you put yours?
