Jamroom Hosting - looking for a few beta testers
Jamroom Hosting
Ken_Rich:Not a question Brian - just envisioning a scenario where someone might possibly want to leave Jamroom hosting (even if it's totally awesome).
The only part I'm not clear on now, is if a person did want to leave, how would the new site be able to accomplish the transfer? My current understanding is, a proper back-up is a .gz folder that contains everything, and that's what the new host needs.
No - that's not needed. You would use SFTP to download everything to the new server, then export your SQL and import it on the new site.
Quote:In the Jamroom hosting situation, what is the process for transferring out?
Like I mentioned above: Download your site files, export your SQL and shut down the server.
Quote:Is it - SFTP into your Jamroom Hosting VPS and download all your files + export your database, which gets you all your data. Then compress to a .tar and then a .gz to arrive at the same place as the c-panel 1 click back-up?
No - this is not cpanel - there are many ways to export or download a site. No need for gzipping or tarring. Just download your files just as if you're using FTP.
Quote:If that's the answer, it's a little "unsettling" to have a process so daunting and untried be the basis of my security. Do you get where I'm coming from? I need my security blanket like "Linus" - lol.
I understand - you're used to a control panel doing everything for you. With Jamroom hosting we specifically do NOT use any control panel, since they always make your server slow. And cpanel is a VERY BIG hacker target - I would not personally run it.
