                                          me try to explain exactly what
                                          I did. <br>
                                          1. I didn&#39;t want to move our
                                          email from yahoo so I started
                                          asking Bluehost how to go
                                          about doing that. They said
                                          and I quote<i> &quot;Changing your
                                            name servers to Bluehost
                                            would interrupt your mail
                                            unless you change your MX
                                            records with us to point to
                                            Yahoo before you change the
                                            nameservers.I went ahead and
                                            made the MX record change on
                                            our end, you can change the
                                            nameservers at anytime.</i>&quot;<br>
                                          <br>
                                          They also said (different dude
                                          10 hours later).<br>
                                          <i>&quot;You can change the hosting
                                            of just the website to us by
                                            pointing just the a record
                                            of the domain to <a href="tel:66.147.244.79" value="+16614724479" target="_blank">66.147.244.79</a>.
                                             This will change the domain
                                            but not the mx entries.&quot;</i><br>
                                          2. So I changed only the
                                          A-Record from yahoo to the ip
                                          address mentioned. Not the NS
                                          records on network solutions.<br>
                                          3. Then got the error
                                          mentioned. Got to home page
                                          but no further. 500 errors.<br>
                                          4. Looked in the .htaccess and
                                          saw the line<br>
                                          RewriteBase /~polamor1/<br>
                                          I suspect that this may be
                                          wrong and I have to comment
                                          this line out but due to my
                                          ignorance can not justify
                                          based on logic. <br>
