Migration from Ning: a few questions


Ning To Jamroom

paul:
You cannot use the URL http://syndicationexpress.ning.com/ for a Jamroom site as that is a Ning sub-domain. Try and buy the domain syndicationexpress.com or something similar and use that.
Alternatively you could stick with one of our sun-domains like syndicationexpresscom.jamroomhosting.com but that is a bit cumbersome!! You'd be better off all round with your own domain. They only cost a few dollars a year from somewhere like namecheap.com

I will do that Paul and thanks for your response. Strumelia is very helpful in the forum.

Migration from Ning: a few questions


Ning To Jamroom

Strumelia:
Terri, hi....
1) If you have a ning site with the domain name of: mysillycat.ning.com ....then you will not be able to keep the ning part of your domain name. So...you'd have to obtain and register a NEW domain name of simply mysillycat.com ....if that domain name is available. Domain names are easy and cheap to register on many online locations. Jamroom does not offer domain name registration service, so you'd have to do that part on your own.
If your current ning domain URL does not have "ning.com" as part of it then you must have previously obtained/registered your domain name in your name when switching your site URL from a ___ning.com URL. If you still have your non-ning domain name registered in your name than yes you can transfer it to point to your new Jamroom site.
2) when you say "you do the work"- that does not mean actually designing or customizing your new site for you, nor making it look just like your ning site. You can purchase the Jamroom Import Service which includes doing the actual IMPORT of your Ning 2.0 content and member accounts into your JR site and making sure your site is basically functioning. You still would need to customize and design your site's looks and preferences yourself. If you plan to import your Ning 2.0 archive of content, you can see the various levels of JR Import Service here, the service is priced according to the size of your import archive:https://www.jamroom.net/ning-to-jamroom/serviceshop
here is a slightly fuller description of what's involved when you buy the JR Import Service:https://www.jamroom.net/ning-to-jamroom/serviceshop/5/5-gig-ning-site

Oops sorry, I posted this before Nate's post appeared. =8-o

Thank you Strumelia for clearing that up. I got it now. My domain name is available and I will register it because I do want that domain name. I was looking at your site and I like what I saw. You did a great job customizing. Very helpful and thank you again.

Migration from Ning: a few questions


Ning To Jamroom

I have several questions I need answers to, first one is 1. Can I keep my domain name? 2. My community on Ning is for bloggers and article writers. Here is the link address to it: syndicationexpressdotningdotcom. 3rd question is if you do the work, how much does it cost? I know a little, however not enough to do it by myself.
