This tutorial covers how to migrate your data and website off of a different VPS provider to DigitalOcean. The basic procedures are the same regardless of where you are migrating from. We discuss some strategies for maintaining data integrity and creating a similar operating environment on a new VPS instance.
@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.
