Keeping my website active whilst developing new site in Soholaunch

[susannemoore]

Can anyone help me? I developed my website using the free BlueVoda download, then when I had my site ready I hosted my site with Vodahost. I know now that what I should have done was hosted first and then used Soholaunch to build my site. My questions are:

1) Can I download Soholaunch, save to a subdirectory in my Cpanel, get to know the application, build my new site and then have my account reset? Everything that I read seems to indicate that Soholaunch will overtake BlueVoda and I am worried that my current live site will be disabled whilst I am creating the new one in Soholaunch. 2) is this the case?

I am not super technical and it has taken me many weeks to get to where I am currently so I anticipate that I will also take a couple of weeks to build the new site which needs to incorporate e-commerce functionality. I would really appreciate any assistance so I can get going on this.

I'm also very interested in learning the answer to your question but it appears no one out there has it. Have you submitted a ticket to Vodahost?
seems like a very straightforward question !!!!

Thanks very much mrmagoo, yes I think that the way to go is to create the sub domain and then link the existing site to Soholaunch that way. I will most likely migrate the BlueVoda site to Soholaunch over time. BTW Tomissan, I did submit a ticket about this, but I didn't get the detailed answer that I needed hence the entry on the forum but I think that I will be OK now.
