I am using another VPS provider with 10+ domains, mainly running WordPress. What’s your strategy of moving 10+ WordPress sites to DO?

@daniel: We have an article on migrating to DigitalOcean from a different VPS provider: <br> <br>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/migrate-your-current-vps-linode-rackspace-aws-ec2-to-digitalocean <br> <br>Please let me know if that helps.
I ended up: <br> <br>- Create DNS records on DigitalOcean <br>- mysqldump and zip databases on old VPS <br>- scp database dumps and sites files from old VPS to DO <br>- restore databases on DO <br>- update wp-config.php (if applicable) <br>- update name servers on domain registrar <br>
Can’t you just create an image of your current server and restore it on DigitalOcean? Isn’t that possible? That’s what I was thinking to do with my Linode account when migrating. I should have it automated via Puppet, but I don’t… And I also have a complex environment setup, with Ruby, Nginx and a bunch of stuff. No point to do it all over again.
