Yes, I know FP is outdated (been using it since 1997 version) as is all the rest of my software/hardware but it's what I have to work with. It's not as easy for me to learn new software as it used to be (wish it was) and it is very important that I do the work instead of trying to learn how to do the work at this point in time. I would love to know how to hand code and how this stuff actually works but that ain't gonna happen.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure exactly what components have been used on the site over the years. It's been up since 2001 and I am still learning as I go. The site is not sophisticated but it looks and works ok and has ranked very high for several key phrases for several years. I know there is a form but it could be removed.

I read somewhere that if you use ftp you have to manually keep track of the files that change which would cause me a problem. Is that true?

I may have to just go ahead and take the downtime and change the nameservers and upload then, although this is a high traffic season for me. (High traffic being a relative term for a small niche site.)

thank you very much for your help
