Reinstall the server - CyberPanel Migration: 11 WordPress Sites to PHP 8.1+
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
We are seeking an efficient and fast system administrator for a clean, low-effort migration.
The job involves migrating a powerful dedicated server (64GB RAM) from an obsolete environment (broken cPanel) to CyberPanel with OpenLiteSpeed on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
The scope is fixed: Migrate only 11 WordPress sites for maximum speed.
Key Tasks and Requirements
Core Installation: Reinstall the server with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and install CyberPanel with OpenLiteSpeed.
11 Site Migration: MANUAL migration of only 11 WordPress sites (files and databases).
PHP Modernization: Ensure all 11 sites are fully functional on PHP 8.1 or higher, assuming minimal compatibility adjustments.
Speed Optimization: Activate LSCache on the server and install the LiteSpeed Cache plugin on all 11 sites.
Configuration: Standard security setup (CyberPanel Firewall), SSL/Let's Encrypt, and ensure the correct functionality of transactional email sending.
EXCLUDED TASKS (WHAT IS NOT REQUIRED)
This section clearly defines the limits of the job, lowering potential bids:
No old mailbox migration or email data migration is required. Only the functionality of the server's email sending service (SMTP/MTA) must be ensured for new transactional emails.
No fine-tuning or advanced debugging of the caching (LSCache) is required. Only the installation of the module and the plugin on the 11 sites is needed; final optimization will be handled by the client.
No migration of extra websites is required. The technician must ignore any other domains or files found on the old server that do not belong to the 11 listed sites.
No WordPress design, development, or content updating is required.
Candidate Requirements
Proven experience with CyberPanel and manual migrations.
Required to propose a timeline and a minimum downtime window for the cutover.
