www.ifix4u.co.nz

I have not done any web programming before so I chose what is simple for me (wordpress)

In a nutshell, its a website about Heatpump Installations....

Once again I am a total novice at this stuff so please give me your opinions, they matter alot!

Basically what I have been doing is using adwords to try to promote the webpage, I am trying to get a video made up too, as I think this will get people to look at my webpage a bit longer

Also trying to set up a quiz for some electronic goods like microwaves, blue ray players

Am I working in the correct direction?

One of my hardest problems at this stage is sharing www.ifix4u.co.nz with other websites as I do not want it to feel like spam

And whatever you do, don't just switch hosts before making sure things work first.

a. create a test account with another provider
b. export your content from current provider
c. import content into new provider
d. create a A record for something such as "dev.ifix4u.co.nz" and configure new host to accept connections for this domain
e. test it works
f. transfer providers

Alternatively

a. create a test account with another provider
b. export your content from current provider
c. import content into new provider
d. create a hosts file entry in your PC pointing your domain to the IP address on the new provider. This way you can visit "www.ifix4u.co.nz" from your PC but actually access the new provider
e. test it works
f. transfer providers
