✅ MemberPress WordPress Site Migration — From Kinsta to Icelandic VPS

📌 Project Overview
We’re moving a privacy-focused WordPress site that uses MemberPress from Kinsta (Google Cloud) to a managed VPS located in Iceland. The site currently has no traffic, making this an ideal time for a strategic infrastructure transition in preparation for future self-hosting.

🔧 Technology Stack
– WordPress
– MemberPress (handles subscriptions, webhooks, and payment gateways)
– https://bunny.net (likely used for CDN or video streaming)
– Cloudflare DNS
– ProtonMail (custom domain expected; SMTP not yet set up)
– Additional plugins (to be determined)

🧠 Main Tasks
– Complete migration of WordPress files and database
– Reconfigure MemberPress:
– Reactivate license
– Test payment gateway webhooks
– Reconnect https://bunny.net
– Install and configure Let’s Encrypt SSL
– Update Cloudflare DNS settings (A records, SSL configuration)
– Ensure email deliverability (Postmark or SendGrid optional)
– Secure the VPS (UFW, fail2ban, PHP optimization)
– Optional: Prepare for future transition to a self-hosted server

🔍 Ideal Candidate
– Senior-level WordPress developer or system administrator
– Experienced with MemberPress and membership-based platforms
– Familiar with https://bunny.net, Cloudflare, and SMTP/DNS configuration
– Comfortable working in managed VPS environments without cPanel
– Bonus: Shares values around privacy, digital sovereignty, and open-source principles

📅 Timeline
– Start: Immediately (low risk due to zero current traffic)
– Preferred Completion: Within 7–10 days
– Support: Operations contact available for access and plugin details

💡 Additional Info
This migration is part of a broader initiative focused on ethical technology, digital sovereignty, and long-term infrastructure planning. Future stages will include self-hosting, cryptocurrency integration, and frameworks for AI-human collaboration.
