Can someone who knows about servers help me! Need to setup new site on old server perhaps and change

    Hi guys,

    I’m familiar with WP and BP but know hardly anything about servers.

    Here’s my dilemma.
    I want to help a friend out by setting her up a new WP and potentially BP site.

    She currently has a really old site which I have FTP details for but I don’t know who hosts it and it doesn’t appear to have C Panel access.
    The domain is a .co.uk domain

    I could install WP and BP manually through FTP but I know nothing about managing email accounts.
    The email account is currently a .co.uk domain as is the site.

    If I was to buy new hosting and go with the same site name but a .com name and forwarded the .co.uk name to the .com address how would I manage the .co.uk mail?

    Is it done at a domain level or handled by the server where her site is hosted?

    Obviously she needs to keep her .co.uk email address for existing clients. Could I somehow forward it to the new.com address?

    really sorry to sound so simple. I usually use C Panel to manage email and software installs.

    If someone could guide me through how to manage all this that would be great.

    Thanks so much for your time.

    :)
