✅ MemberPress WordPress Site Migration — Kinsta to Icelandic VPS

📌 Project Summary
We’re migrating a privacy-first WordPress site using MemberPress from Kinsta (Google Cloud) to a managed VPS in Iceland. The site currently has no traffic, making this a strategic infrastructure shift in preparation for future self-hosting.

🔧 Tech Stack
– WordPress
– MemberPress (subscriptions, webhooks, payment gateways)
– https://bunny.net

(likely CDN or video delivery)
– Cloudflare DNS
– ProtonMail (likely custom domain; SMTP not configured yet)
– Other plugins (TBD)

🧠 Key Tasks
– Full migration of WordPress files + database
– Reconfigure MemberPress:
– License reactivation
– Payment gateway webhook testing
– Reintegrate https://bunny.net

– Install + configure Let’s Encrypt SSL
– Update Cloudflare DNS (A records, SSL settings)
– Ensure email deliverability (Postmark/SendGrid optional)
– Harden VPS stack (UFW, fail2ban, PHP config tuning)
– Optional: prep for future move to self-hosted server

🔍 Ideal Contractor Profile
– Senior WordPress dev/sysadmin
– Experience with MemberPress and gated content platforms
– Knows https://bunny.net

, Cloudflare and SMTP/DNS setup
– Comfortable working on managed VPS environments (non-cPanel)
– Bonus: Alignment with privacy, sovereignty, and open-source ethos

📅 Timeline
– Start: ASAP (zero-traffic site = low migration risk)
– Ideal Turnaround: Within 7–10 days
– Coordination: Ops contact available to provide access and plugin info

💡 Notes
This migration is part of a larger project involving conscious tech, sovereignty, and long-view infrastructure design. Future phases include self-hosting, crypto integration, and AI-human collaboration frameworks.
