Do they own the website design and the domain name is what Joey meant. If they own the design and you just copied it you won't be able to keep it. If they own your domain name they can do with it what they want when you go elsewhere. (Someone here had that very problem - the webhost owned their domain and wouldn't turn it over, they simply posted tons of ads on the site while the inn owners had to buy a new domain name and compete with their old, very visible website.)The Buut CMS allows me to do my own bgd, pix, content, slideshow. Pretty basic though.
Oh....they control/own the platform. The 1and1 is a 1and1-controlled template also. But I have had more CMS tools to use - but AROUND the essential code.
Hence....I want again have own my own "portable" content and file as I did in "the old days" pre-Nov 2012. I built the site, managed the content, uploaded to a host, etc. However, it was "old-school" based on straight HTML 3.0 without any gee-whiz widgets, social, etc.
Enter Buut. And here we are now faced with this crossroad....
We also never used a BOOKING ENGINE of any type BTW....
Also, if you now have 2 sites going live with the same info, that is going to cause you grief with Google.
