Why is this not a common use case?
Linode, DigitalOcean, Vultr, EC2/Lightsail and many many other companies lease dedicated servers and VPS. Lease an app server, lease a DB server, move the data and port the code.
Yes, no doubt there's some other 'devil in the details', but if it's already "old school legacy" architecture, why not just replicate that some place else that offers better service (and likely better value for money)?
- angst_ridden 4y agoAll good recommendations. I think the difference is in the contracts (I'm reporting second-hand, since I don't have access to the actuals). With Linode, anyway, I do a lot of hosting in VPSes, but these clients have contracts stipulating the hosting company manages/maintains/monitors the OS. I guess if I were smart, I'd get the actual contractual requirements from the clients. That'll be my next step.
