      Appreciate all of the input. I now have all of my hosted websites running on my C@C box with CloudFlare handling the DNS. Next step is to shut down my account over at MediaTemple.

      Then I've got a ZendTo server that I've been hosting internally that I would like to move to the cloud. Anyone know if I can easily transfer this over to my Centos box? It's currently running on a Ubuntu VM.

        Likely, but don't know that software specifically. You can get Ubuntu on CloudatCost too if needed.

          ZendTo seems a bit out of date. They offer packages for Ubuntu 12.04 (several versions old, five in fact.) And CentOS 6, which is a full version behind in the RHEL / CentOS world.

            Never heard of ZendTo... Looking into it now, looks like it could be something to replace our FTP server...

              You'd need to reinstall it from the RPM package rather than the Deb. But, the config is likely the same or very similar.

              Also may want to check CloudatCosts TOS about file sharing.. not sure their stance on that.

                All of my sites are currently very light traffic, so I'd like to add the ZendTo site to this same box.

                @coliver

                ZendTo works great for our needs. It allows us to securely transfer larger files back and forth with clients.

                @thecreativeone91

                Thanks... I'll continue to research and maybe touch base with the developer. I can't imagine that our usage of this product would run afoul of C@C's TOS. We just need a secure means of exchange files with clients.

                  What the heck are you talking about? This has nothing to do with C@C. They are not the internet police and there is nothing illegal about file sharing.

                  If you host illegal shit and the authorities ask your host to shut you down, they will shut it down. But it is not the hosts job, directly. This is no different than any other service out there.

                    Some VPS and Shared hosts explicitly disallow file sharing/hosting using their services in their TOS.

                      My website has an image on it. I am thus hosting files.

                        That may be the denotation of the rules, but not the connotation.

                          There's a difference in having files that are used for the sites, and running a file host.

                          It's not unusual to find lines like this from VPS providers expect the bigger cloud providers (AWS/Rackspace)

                          "space may only be used for web files, active email and content of User Websites. Space may not be used for storage (whether of media, emails, or other data), including, as offsite storage of electronic files, email or FTP hosts."

                            I always recommend CloudFlare, it's the best DNS host I have found.

                            I am more of a ClouDNS + BunnyCDN fan
