Once I have worked out the kinks on the new server, it would be a matter of pointing the domain to the new location.'
It would also be less stressful for me this way as I am not touching the original site in any way other than to export the database briefly to work on in another location.
I know you recommend the local copy first. I've gone that route before and always seem to have problems once I upload the files to the server. I find better success in working in the same environment it will be functioning on.
Thanks..and I am sure to be back with more questions once I get started again. It has been such a long time since I worked on my original stores, it is like relearning everything all over again.
