Thanks Andrew, I will try these out.
We have a tutorial about migrating a Wordpress sites from another VPS, that should be largely similar for DreamHost: <br> <br>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/migrate-your-current-vps-linode-rackspace-aws-ec2-to-digitalocean <br> <br>As for migrating your rails app from Heroku, you might be interested in using our Dokku app: <br> <br>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-use-the-dokku-one-click-digitalocean-image-to-run-a-ruby-on-rails-app

@farooqyousuf1 This looks like a good start, https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-migrate-wordpress-from-shared-hosting-to-a-cloud-server-with-zero-downtime.
As of right now I’ve been with Dreamhost for 8 years and DigitalOcean for just under two . My plan is to move the remaining domains over to DO. I left two domain, both my Primary site and Blog as well as each domain being a Google Apps for Business provider. One site is Wordpress other is CodeIgniter plus each domain utilized Dreamhost’s unlimited space so I have a lot of testing and web apps in the $Home.
Have you found any viable options?
If I do, or if I manually make it happen seamlessly I’ll post a tutorial here for you.
