Setting up IIS for shared hosting?

[plenderj]

I have a number of different accounts with a hosting provider in Ireland (www.hosting365.ie) for various websites. I'd like to pull these all together under a single dedicated server. So I have a Win2k3 server running, and I've installed the .NET Framework 2.0 and windows updates and all the rest of it.

What's the process however for taking a current/existing site and plonking it onto this server? Take my personal site for example: www.plenderj.com. This is currently hosted on www.hosting365.ie, and the dedicated server is also by www.hosting365.ie. Do I need to fiddle with IIS, DNS in my server, request DNS changes with the host etc etc etc?

First, go to your hosting365's control panel, add a new website, the currently existing one.

Then, look for their primary and secondary nameservers.

Next, go to the control panel for the currently existing website (the one that the company you registered the website with gave you) and change the nameservers for that website to point to hosting365's.

Then wait for 72 hours.

Of course, don't forget to upload the files.

Ta for the reply, but under IIS on my dedicated server, surely I create a new web site with the same address as the site I'm trying to transfer etc?

I see, you have access to your own server?
