LEMP Website Migration & Setup

Customer: AI | Published: 01.10.2025

I need the entire site that now lives on a KnownHost VPS cloned to a fresh Linux VPS on Hostinger. The current server runs a full Nginx, MySQL, PHP LEMP stack, and I want the Hostinger machine to mirror those exact component versions so the application behaves identically. Access will be through SSH only, so you’ll be comfortable working from the terminal—whether through Hostinger’s browser console or your own client. Your first task is to provision the stack: install and configure Nginx, PHP-FPM, and MySQL to match the versions on the source box, apply identical config files, virtual hosts, and PHP extensions, then harden the install with the same security tweaks already in place. Once the environment is ready, copy all site files, databases, and crons, switch over DNS (or update the A record), and make sure SSL continues to work. I’ll provide root credentials for both VPS instances and the version numbers currently running so you can replicate them without guesswork. Deliverables • LEMP stack installed on Hostinger with the same Nginx, MySQL, and PHP versions • All site files, databases, and scheduled jobs migrated and verified • Functional tests confirming the site loads, admin area works, and no PHP errors are logged • Brief hand-off notes outlining what was installed and any commands used so I can maintain the server afterward I’m looking for a clean cut-over with minimal downtime, ideally done in a single session once everything is staged.
