I have a website hosted with Tripod. Is there any way that I can move that site somewhere else? Tripod won't allow you to transfer your domain name to them so I'm trying to come up with an alternate solution. I would appreciate any help with this. <br /><br />I tried copying my website files to my computer but my Windows unzip program wouldn't work to unzip them. I think they are protected from being used elsewhere. Is this right?<!--content-->
What did you use to build your sites? Was it something through tripod? Maybe save the html and export to a different editor?<!--content-->
I used Tripods site builder program. I will see if I can export the html to a different editor. Thank you for the suggestion. <img src="http://www.webdesignerforum.co.uk/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

I know many other webhosts allow it for a small fee. <br /><br /><br /><!--quoteo(post=848:date=Sep 25 2006, 02:22 PM:name=ozzie)--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(ozzie @ Sep 25 2006, 02:22 PM) [snapback]848[/snapback]</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec--><br />I have a website hosted with Tripod.

They should cover that in the FAQ area or call their customer service department. Some companies have a certain time period you must wait before you transfer domain names and information, such as 30, 60 or even 90 days. I've encountered the same situation, where I bought several domain names and then began hosting, but was not at all happy with their service. I had to wait 90 days to be able to transfer the domain names to another host site, although I could have copied the code for my pages and hosted it else where under a different name.<br /><br />Hope that helps.<!--content-->
As suggested before, the domain name transfer will depend style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> I'm thinking I may have to copy my content and rebuild the site elsewhere. darn!

Tripod is aggravating with their popup ads and their limitations. If you are going to use a subdomain or free host, and you have your html pages built, then go to atspace, they are the best in not putting ads on your pages.<br /><!--content-->
