Have to move off Arvixe NOW -- Linode? Digital Ocean? Other?
Jamroom Hosting
Derrick -
This is all very helpful info. I am getting about 450 on my Arvixe "business" class server for $30 w/cPanel.
As a part of setting up the server they will do *one* site transfer for you, with limitations on the amount of data transferred. They did a cPanel backup of my site (about 30 gigs), moved it to another server, and unpacked everything and it worked once I got the config files right. It took them about 6 hours to make the transfer and another couple of hours for me to check that the site was okay and then do the DNS stuff I needed to do.
What I think we're doing here by sharing this stuff is getting some baseline for what hosting services will do at different price levels. More importantly, finding competent freelancers who can do the work is also important - and I may get back to you on that front when I decide to upgrade.
