    Dont know where to begin.

    Hello, Can anyone shine a light on my issue.
    I have a site and its called kayakfishingaddicts.ning.com/.
    My site has grown and its getting even larger. My worries is, since ning is the third party, i am worried that they have all the right to do anything.
    How can i separate from ning and still keep all of my members?
    I want to have my own site that i have 100% control of and not have to worry with a third party. Can anyone give me some suggestions?
    I already own the domain name.

    Thanks in advance!

    Do you have an email contact for all (or many) of your website users. If so send out a bulk email letting them know your new site name. Then put up a redirect from your current to the new for any users who didn't get the email.

    Do you use a Password Protected Directory? Need a way to allow users to make their own account, try my .htaccess Login Script

      Watdaflip has an excellent suggestion.

      But islanderexpress should talk to VodaHost about getting
      his own URL and not be dependent on NING or someone else.

      You can read about VodaHost and how to make the change
      without losing on your customers and your pages and images.

      First off, click on the above VodaHost link and learn about the process
      and the procedure what Voda folks would prefer you to do and how best
      they would be able to help in your new endeavor.

      And folks at this forum wanna thank you in advance if and when
      you come on board. We are all hoping it will be "when" and not "if".

        That won't work in this situation as he doesn't control the domain name that would be transferred.

          You are right Watdaflip.

          I assumed that instead of kayakfishingaddicts.ning.com,

          he wants to have kayakfishingaddicts.com so that he can have
          100% control over domain. He already owns it but under the auspices
          of NING.

          In similar situations, folks start with, for example,
          kayakfishingaddicts.blogspot.com or with wordpress, and then
          after sometime they switch to their own independent site keeping
          the name intact.

          I misunderstood.
