Right now, I am paying $8 a month plus $3 a month for a dedicated IP for web hosting. I have seen alot of ML user gravitate towards CloudatCost. How dificult is it to migrate my website and setup cpanel on my own server?
Do you think it is worth it? What can I expect throughout the journey? downtime, headaches, etc?
I would hold off for a bit. C@C just had three hours of downtime (and counting).
cPanel has a licensing fee. You can install it at your own cost. There is also zPanel which is a free alternative.
3 hours downtime. That's no bueno

@IRJ I would suggest Digital Ocean.
If you want, I can help you with it. Here is the links I used:

Think the Most Popular Plan will be sufficient for the website? What about CPanel? Do you think Zpanel is an effective replacement?

Is It just for yourself? I'd go without any panel and use SSH for everything.. Less attack surface and more learning.

I'd like to host more sites in the future

Ah, Just be aware that both C@C and Digital Ocean doesn't allow reselling on their standard VPS plans.

@IRJ the $5 plan should do everything you need it too. Start with that, you can always upgrade

Makes sense. Upgrades are easy.

Same here, we do our own hosting and do not use any panels. I'm not sure how much value they add.

I have found that for web hosting, if you are going to run much of anything, you are going to want to have at least 1GB of RAM. The webserver that hosts my blog, for example, needs more than 2GB and still lacks a lot in responsiveness - but is no longer memory constrained.

Just signed up for C@C with a Dev2. At 50% off, I couldn't resist!

Just go to their site. No coupon required.

I really want a Big Dog 2 instance. I only have Dev 1 and BigDog 1 instances right now.

I see that now. Is this just off the first month or is it every month?
-
@IRJ -- Can't speak to the monthly fee as I've only done the one time fee thus far. I suspect they will honor it going forward, but you would need to confirm that with them.
-
The coupon is assumed for the one time price, no idea what happens when you try it on the month to month.
