It was a pain. After waiting hours for the tech support team to even start migrating the site from the old server, I just did it myself.
But I am up and running without a hitch. Was actually pretty easy. What was taking them hours took me all of ten minutes.
So a word to the wise. If you are developing sites, it is good to learn a thing or two about actually administering the server. Takes a lot of the waiting out of the job.
