  3. Well, the site won't go completely down. You'll get the message about the site being down for maintenance, once the message goes away, it should be coming from the new server. So, yes, just keep cfreaking back about every hour or so.

    You won't lose internet access.

    It's just a text file and you are only adding one thing.

    And for the Vista users make sure you open Notepad as an Administrator before you try to change the host file or it won't work.

    I hope some of you guys really make the change to your host file.

    I'd like to be in touch with you all during the move.
