Questions:
What would be the first steps in initiating that migration? (Difficulties or "gotchas" I should look out for)
Will I need to package up all the files in S3?
What services would be comparable (MODX Cloud up to the task?)
Would this be a standard "Moving MODX to a new Server" situation]]> mayhemchaos Nov 28, 2017, 06:07 PM https://forums.modx.com/thread/103234/migration-recommendations-rackspace-aws-to-something-else#dis-post-555508 https://forums.modx.com/thread/103234/migration-recommendations-rackspace-aws-to-something-else#dis-post-558612 dillan May 17, 2018, 01:06 PM https://forums.modx.com/thread/103234/migration-recommendations-rackspace-aws-to-something-else#dis-post-558612 https://forums.modx.com/thread/103234/migration-recommendations-rackspace-aws-to-something-else#dis-post-557865
The migration process is always the same, if you have ssh access on both ends, it's generally faster/easier to use rsync to do the the file move. MySQL is generally straightforward, just make sure your export charset matches the db charset and avoid utf8-mb4 for now. Support for it is limited.

If one were moving to MODX Cloud, however, you can use Vapor to migrate.]]> smashingred Apr 09, 2018, 07:27 PM https://forums.modx.com/thread/103234/migration-recommendations-rackspace-aws-to-something-else#dis-post-557865 https://forums.modx.com/thread/103234/migration-recommendations-rackspace-aws-to-something-else#dis-post-557864
Why would you want to move from AWS S3? That's kind of a de facto standard any more.

Depending on the size of the site, traffic, etc, I lean toward offerings from InMotion Hosting, LiquidWeb, and VULTR.

Moving MODX should be like any other PHP project. Grab all the files, grab the database, load them up on another server, update the configs and clear the cache.]]> vigilante Apr 09, 2018, 06:27 PM https://forums.modx.com/thread/103234/migration-recommendations-rackspace-aws-to-something-else#dis-post-557864
