Has anyone transferred their free Office Live website over to Office 365 yet?

Looks a bit complicated.

just bumping this as I want to know too...   

Bummer that they're not continuing the service, I just bought my domain name too..

Microsoft promised this would be a free service for the long future when i set mine up 3 years ago .... then they said they were changing over in 2012, then it was 2013 (this was on their website). B*stards have gone back to 2012 now for some reason.

Last day is 30th April 2012 for those who dont know.... change it or loose it.

Im going to change mine over, but as soon as i have the cash im having one built that i have control of. I hate microsoft with a passion !!!

6months free then $6 a month is still a bargain mate to build and maintain your own website.

I'll be doing the transition when I get some time.

I hadn't looked into it but if it's only $6 a month, I think that's well worth it, I don't think it would be any cheaper moving to a different company..

I/m currently doing it and its a pain in the arse 

[S.A.J]

Has anyone done this yet successfully??

I have lost everything so far!!!!! website is down and email no longer works NOT HAPPY 

[Blue Frog Systems]

Thats microsoft for you Stuart ... this has made me realise that i have no control over my website and i need to get a propper one built asap

[S.A.J]

Cheers,

Huw

[S.A.J]

I have Huw  but my email dont work 

Can someone send me a test email please?

[S.A.J]

Bloody annoying a little on why it takes so long http://www.register365.com/knowledge/hosting/929-what_is_dns_propagation_and_why_does_it_take_so_long.html

If anyone else has got to do this do it asap as it is time consuming!!!!!!!!!

[Matt Gibson]

I knew it would be a pain, Microsoft always said ..''oh its going to be a quick and easy change over, no fuss blah blah blah''

I jumped ship as soon as the announcement was made..

I dont mind paying for it, its been free for 4-5 years and brought in lots of work! Just wanna make sure i dont loose my site as i spent a long time on it...or my name for that matter!
