Migrating site within same host

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I have multiple domains with BlueHost. I built a website using Concrete5 in a subfolder of my primary domain. I now want to move the Concrete5 site to its own domain which I also own. I read the documentation on migrating sites and it seemed to be with regard to moving the site from one host to another. Is it the same process within the same hosts? I am not the least bit tech savvy so I probably won't be able to do it on my own but thought maybe it was easier within the same host. In general BlueHost has been really great about tech support but said I am pretty much on my own with this.

Thanks.

Steve

all you need to do is point your domain name at that folder where its installed through bluehost

Thanks,Enlil. The site that my Concrete 5 site is currently "under" is extremely slow because it is a Wordpress site that has caching and other issues. My Concrete 5 site is also very slow and I am hoping it has something to do with being in a subfolder of the slow Wordpress site and that the Concrete 5 site will speed up once it has its own domain name. If I simply redirect the site to the new domain I assume it will still be associated with the slow Wordpress site and therefore will also still be slow. Is that a legitimate concern?


Here is the Concrete 5 site:http://www.getoutsidenyc.com/hvn2/...

Thanks again for responding.

no. You get your concrete5 site running on a good server. The domain name just points to where it's hosted!

Thanks. I'll call BlueHost and set it up that way.

With blue host I would check your throttle tab and see whats hogging everything. I clicked on your site and it took 6 seconds for first byte. Something funny is going on.

I use bluehost and have all my concrete5 sites loading the homepage under 3-5 seconds the only time when I had an issue with bluehost taking my page 10 seconds to load is when I was being throttled because my traffic was to large and I needed to upgraded.

you either have something running on your server that your not aware of or your sever has to much load.
