Since I am trying to get all of my sites redesigned, adding in CMS, and some extra spice, I figured now is a good time to look into moving everything as well. Obviously the amount of time to move all this on ONE site, much less half a dozen would be extremely time consuming. So I do not want to have to spend months doing that, or hiring people.

The main issue is that with the new scripts, I will not be able to just transfer over, and tada it is up and working. I would have to get new script installed on new host. Then move/post/catagorize old stuff into the new format, and once it's complete, end old hosting.

I know when I did this on my celebrity site a few years back it took a good 3-4 months to get 5000+ celebs, 100's of thousands of pictures, all their movies, and shit into the new script (considering the time available for such a task).
