I am essentially a newbie learning as I make mistakes Bobrobert

If you moved your Web Wiz Forums hosting to us there is a £19.99 migration fee, which includes going through and correcting any errors in the database.

The best thing I can suggest is that you contact the sales department directly and then I'm sure Bruce will be able to sort this for you. When I transferred from 1&1 to Web Wiz I had a similar situation which required bringing across the database too
All I can say is Bruce was absolutely wonderful at helping me through the process. A word of caution though for you - when closing down your 1&1 account - be careful how to navigate the process as their shut down procedure is not made simple - This is their explanation here

But to clarify if you are bringing across a domain too, then choose

Change provider
If you would like your domain to be maintained by another provider (and only then), you must select this
option. The change is effected differently for every TLD (Top Level Domain, e.g.: .com). If you choose
this option, we will automatically acknowledge a transfer request by another provider

How I worked it through with Bruce when I did was I cancelled the domain first, got that away and over to Web Wiz, then when I was happy everything was up and running, I then pulled the plug on the contract

I had a business package too bob but I just had the wrong provider  and I will leave it at that 

For what its worth though I do not think you will regret making the move into Web Wiz - its a great company with the personal touch that larger companies often lack nowadays
