[OT] Opinions about On-Rev

[Jerry J]

You use the cPanel to AddOn your domain. If you haven't changed the  
DNS yet, nothing will happen to your old site, and the AddOn routine  
will complain that the DNS is wrong (which is OK, thats what you are  
trying to do!) The AddOn routine does everything else correctly. Then  
you move your site into the appropriate folder(s). After you are happy  
with how your site runs at on-rev, you change the DNS with your domain  
registrar, and as it percolates through the intertubes your new site  
will be in use. Thats my experience, anyway, with a test site.

Good Luck!
