With https://wpghostimport.com/ converting the JSON export
Another path may be to use RSS to read all the posts into WP.
Nothing to lose right 
so I gave it a go. Worked incredibly well. Not perfect but it means I have a lot less to do.
@nebulon Thanks, I actually did that and to me at least the difference was nothing.
Digital Ocean = 26ms
Hetzner = 35ms
To me at least, that does not appear a significant difference in terms of visitor load time.
@girish All of my sites are just info blogs, a forum and a custom-built history site. They will be fine pretty much anywhere.
Going to go with Hetzner, as I say, not a cheapskate, was willing to pay Digital Ocean $40 per month but Hetzner Cloud gets as good if not better reviews and for much less money. Seems daft not to

@LeeW yep it's so simple. But to be fair: there is no magic import button to move your content from one cms to the other
Yeah, I knew that. It's going to take time to do it, but at least this way I can do it over a period of time then switch when ready, makes it so much easier.
@timconsidine That's very useful, thanks.
Never mind, there looks like there are a few reasons that Laravel is limited with the LAMP app that doesn't make it ideal for Cloudron. Will stick with something else for that.
Hi,
So I was looking at potentially trying to establish if Cloudron could handle a Laravel site I have. I noticed that in the LAMP app you can have PHP 7.4 or 8.0 but Laravel's current requirements are PHP 8.0.2
Is there any way to force it from 8.0 to 8.02 or better?
Thanks

@girish So is that easy, excellent makes things so easy and less rushed.
Hey,
Looking for a little help here. I have decided that one of my blogs running Ghost needs to be moved to WordPress, just not enough functionality in Ghost for where the blog is at this point.
My question is how to do it.
My initial thoughts were to install WordPress on blog.domain.com, do the transfers, set it all up then once ready, remove Ghost on domain.com then change the location of WordPress to domain.com.
Would that work, sounds too simple
