I'm just curious if anyone knows much about the environment that SharePoint hosting companies usually have. The company I use is not offering any kind of conversion or migration options for their customers that want to change their v2 sites to v3 sites and that we'll need to re-create our SharePoint Services sites from scratch on their v3 servers. What they are telling us is that the migration tools currently available will break the environment and they're telling us to check into SharePoint Designer to see if it can help.

I've even tried saving lists as templates from my v2 site and upload them to my v3 site. They upload just fine and are in the v3 List Template library, but don't seem to be available to choose from when I want to create the new list on the v3 site.

I find it hard to believe there is no other way to move the data in a hosted environment.

If anyone has any thoughts on this I would love to hear it.
