Moving from current hosting, vBulletin 4.1.2 to VbCloud

[bakirc]

Hi,

We have vBulletin 4.1.2 on current hosting (VPS), but we want to move to vbCloud. Is it possible to move our database easily, and what issues we can expect (because vbCloud has version 5)? Is there some compatibility issue with older database, or it will be more or less painless?

Regards,
Bakir

You would provide us with a database backup and a zip file of your attachments and avatars (if they are in the filesystem). Then we will upload the database to our cloud server and run a migration script that will update your database to the current version of vBCloud (currently 5.2.5). You will lose all modifications and all styles, but all your users/threads/posts/forums will get migrated to the vBCloud site.

Thanks for fast reply. So, after all data is on vbcloud we can customise our forum (logo, style)?

Yes, you can - note however that you will not have access to the templates but you can style using an additional.css sheet available via Site Builder and via the StyleVar system.
