As long as the urls in the site aren't absolute ex http://freehost/you/game.swf, you won't have any problems moving it over. Just make sure your file structure is the same.

You could try following the folder structure of your current install of the gaming script, backup the db to transfer to another host, then imitate the folder structure on that new host, although theres a 50/50 chance it will work... Try to visit the site of your game script for your site, try to look for migration instructions, that should help...

Ah, thats something I didn't want to hear. Being this is a gaming website, reinstalling each game file manually (through the script's uploader) takes about a minute per file (adding descriptions, titles, and the upload times), and then you can times that by 140 (how many I've uploaded). Not fun! :eek:

I'm wondering if you can simply upload all the .swf and .png files into the directories they would install to (if I were to use the script's uploader), and then upload the SQL commands that would bring the site on the new server to what it is on the free server.

Except I'm not positive if this would work or how to obtain the SQL commands.

So my easiest route would be to upgrade on my current host, and that's not really something I want to do as the bandwidth offered on AS is almost nothing compared to other hosts out there.

Thanks for your help.
