Moving a large website from CPanel to DA

[Rodrigo D’Agostino]

Hello, everyone!

I'm kind of new to the forum and to DA, and I need your help and experience.

I've got a large WordPress website (30 Gb in files and 700 Mb in database) which is currently hosted in Media Temple through WHM and CPanel, and I would like to know if I might run into any issues or limitations if I try to migrate from CPanel to DA, specially considering the size of this website.

I will be definitely moving from Media Temple to Linode, so now I need to figure out if it's advisable to move to DA or if I should stick with CPanel.


Thanks in advance

30GB is not that big, you should not have any issues migrating your site from cPanel to DA.

Hi,

If you have a sufficient hosting plan at your new hoster, I don't think you will run into any limitations.
However, since your database is 700 MB, most likely you will need to ask your hoster to import that databse for you.
Usually there is a limitation in phpMyAdmin on the database import size.

Ok, that's good to hear! I will definitely give it a try then

I remember I ran into that issue you mentioned, Raimundas, but somehow I managed to sort it out. Too bad I can't remember HOW I did it xP

Thanks a lot, guys!
