As you know we are doing a new website for museomix, we’re working to finish it off and put online for 1st october.
If you wanna see the website in is actual state you can have a look here : dev.museomix.org (connect with coordolocal account)
We are actually experiencing problem of performance with the server, that make our work very slow and uncomfortable, and that may delay our work.
So as now we have a dedicated server, we are wondering to migrate to a shared server.
What is the the decision to take?
Where to to migrate the website? Choose a shared server provider?
I don’t know the specifications of the actual dedicated server but generally a dedicated server (if not too “small” or old) has best performances as a shared server!
Since our “dedicated” server is offered by a sponsor (iilyo) we can keep it for some purposes and use external hosting for main website, don’t you think ?
It can be a good solution to keep the existing dedicated server for some stuff, for example community and wiki (we can move it later if useful but we don’t need to do it when we deploy the new website).
The main difficulty is to check if the new website will have good performances on the external shared hosting, I don’t know what plugins are used and how the template use the database (the main performance potential issues for WordPress).
I agree on this, let’s keep the dedicated server for wiki and community, and file transfer if needed. And we can migrate the website dev and dev2 at the moment to test. According to the results of this test, we’ll decide for the new website.
