It may take a day or two for the domain name to propagate through the internet so access to the site may be patchy at the moment. However, everything should be normal before the end of the week.

I was not looking forward to transferring Wordpress but the move went surprisingly smoothly and only took a few simple steps. Here is what I did in case I ever need to do it again:

1. Backed up the database and the site files on the old site.
2. Created a new database on the new site
3. Checked the details in wp-config.php, made changes to the database details where necessary and uploaded the backed up site files to the new domain.
4. On the old site I went to Settings -> General and changed the Wordpress Address and the Blog Address URLs to the new site.
5. Backed up the database again and imported this backup into the new database using phpMyAdmin.
6. Checked the new site and added a redirection from the old site via .htaccess.

I am still working through the site to make sure everything is working as it should. If you find anything not working correctly I would appreciate you letting me know as it is easy to overlook something.
