Hello,

I am a marketing guy and want to migrate my wordpress website from Godaddy to Digital Ocean.

What server to select?

Is there any one to one support from Digital Ocean?

Which server really depends on how much traffic you’re getting and how much you can spend.

Since you’re a marketing guy, you’ll want to roll with the WordPress image, as opposed to a plain Debian or Ubuntu image. It’ll give you a ready-to-use WordPress installation.

You can always increase your droplet size later on. If I were in your position, I’d probably start with the 1GB droplet for $10/month. However, if you’re getting hundreds of thousands of visits per month, you may want to opt for a droplet with more resources.
