Thank you, ADM, for the offer.
I have run Revolution in the past on my previous server without issues. I had only run one site with it and though I am sure it was not as fast as Evo., it was not slow-enough for me to notice that anything was "wrong". I had a free VPS for years on a server at a friend's data-center. Earlier in the summer the whole server went down (I think it was an HD crash). But since it wasn't charging me, I didn't want to bother him so I decided to try another commercial host (the move to Hostgator).
You're right that moving the Modx sites shouldn't be THAT big of a deal. I have the components locally, I just have to put the pieces back in place. (I guess I could save the DBs, too - something couldn't do after the crash.) But I do also have a few other sites that do not run Modx... Two are just custom html / php sites and the other is an e-commerce site. I didn't want to have more down time than I already did this summer, while I deal with moving and rebuilding. - I am not sure if Cpanel has the ability to save everything for a transfer... I did a site backup from my previous server, and all kinds of pieces were missing - may have had to do with the crash (if that is what happened) but it ended up not helping me.
So, for now, I am going to see about switching my other sites from Revo to Evo and live with that for a while. In the future, maybe I will give Revo a shot on another host.
Hello,
You are most welcome, the offer is good any time. In regards to the actual transfer, cPanel makes it painless, and we are able to move everything seamlessly (cPanel <> cPanel). If the old server had failed that likely affected your move, but between two good servers figure about 10-20 minutes per cPanel account depending on total account size.
In either case I am glad you found a solution that worked for you.
