Given only the task "move a VPS from one hosting provider to another", "rand(1000000)" is a decent estimator. ;)
But seriously, there are an incredible number of variables in this situation. Here are some I've encountered moving VPSes:
* is the code in source control?
* is the ACTUALLY RUNNING code in source control? This is different from the first one.
* how many services are running on the VPS? Moving a PHP webapp is one thing, moving a multi-process app that's using multiple daemons is quite another.
* has anybody documented the setup? Little changes in /etc can make a big difference.
- MrBra 12y agoNo code in source control. It's a wordpress website with a big DB and heavy traffic. I've read that I could use WHM cPanel facility to backup and restore the website into another VPS in which I will install cPanel. From a forum I saw someone else with same task being adviced to do this: --------------------------------------- 1.Check versions of php,mysql,apache, and check whether the required php-apache modules are enabled on the new server.Check whether the exact php handler enabled on new server(like suPHP or fastcgi) 2.Create packages as like old server. 3.Ensure Dedicated IPs for the accounts are assigned properly, and ssl too. 4.Check the ownership and permissions of the accounts(sometimes permission/ownership issues will occur on cpanel-cpanel migrations). 5.Perform cPanel WHM migrations --------------------------------------- Then, how much should I charge for this, including possible go-wrong scenarios (hopefully not hehe but..) ??
