Rafael Grecco Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Hi, I have been using IPS Cloud Hosted since 2012. While I am satisfied with the service, I am paying U$70 a month just to use a Forum (I don't use any other plugin)... with 2-3 months payment I can buy a license to host the forum on a much cheaper place. My question is: Is it easy to do? Is it usually a smooth change? Does IPS offer this kind of migration service? To give you a background on my knowledge, I am the IT guy of a service provider, but while I can do anything related to infrastructure (routers, servers, etc) and have little knowledge on SQL and PHP. Thanks Rafael EDIT: I already ran the tool to test if my server is suitable to run IPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevengeFNF Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I believe IPS will give you a backup of the site, and the rest is with you. If you don't have knowledge of configuring a web server, better to hire someone that can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASTRAPI Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 You just need the sql and files backup and you can move to any host Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafael Grecco Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 Hmmmm thanks. I think I'll buy the license, make a test coying the sql and files, and if everything goes as planned, I'll change de DNS. If something goes wrong, I'll probably pay for someone to do it for me. Thanks for the tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomer12 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Hey @Rafael Grecco, what's the end of the story - did you migrate to another host? Which hosting provider did you choose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
