            Yes indeed. I have found the MODx Forum to be one of the most helpful, and encouraging forums of the many I participate in.

            Moving forward, some things you should keep in mind.
            Do regular backups of the site and the database.
            (As long as you have the major directories (core, manger, components, and any assets folder that contains images, js and css files) and the database, moving the site or recreating the site is then possible. Depending on your server/hosting setup, there are ways to store a backup on the server outside of the root of the site. As well, there are many different approaches to backing up. Certainly, if your hosting plan has cPanel, doing a backup is very simple. On some of my other, non cPanel sites, I duplicate all the relevant directories & files, zip them up, and then store them on backup drives locally (a.k.a. in my office). Certainly more than one copy is advisable, and kept if different locations. Should one be lost, stolen, damaged, then you have that other copy available.

            Be mindful of updates.
            Generally it is a good idea to keep the site up to date. Some versions of MODx have vulnerabilities—some more than others. I'm not sure where your current version falls within that realm. Making major jumps in updates may pose some hurdles, but all can be overcome.
