I'm a non-technical solo founder with two dormant websites — laflife.com and luvlaf.com — that were built about 10 years ago. I currently pay for Rackspace, DigitalOcean (4 Droplets), Cloudinary, AWS, and GitHub every month. The sites have no active users right now. I want to preserve them at minimal cost until I'm ready to rebuild in a few years. **What I need you to do:** 1. Audit what each service (Rackspace, DigitalOcean, Cloudinary, AWS) is actually doing for each site 2. Take a complete backup of both websites and all data before touching anything 3. Consolidate both sites onto a single small DigitalOcean Droplet 4. Migrate any images to AWS (I'm already paying $3/month there) 5. Decommission the old Rackspace server (Ubuntu 10.04 — very outdated) 6. Cancel or downgrade Cloudinary if it's no longer needed 7. Reduce from 4 DigitalOcean Droplets to 1 **Goal:** Bring my total monthly hosting cost down to $15–20/month while keeping both sites live and intact. **What I'll need from you when finished:** - A simple written summary of what was changed and why - All credentials, logins, and passwords documented and handed over to me - Confirmation that full backups exist before anything is deleted **Important:** - Please explain what you plan to delete BEFORE deleting it - I am not technical — clear communication is essential - Fixed-price bids preferred, but open to hourly **Estimated scope:** 3–6 hours **Budget:** $150–$400 (open to discussion based on your assessment) Please include in your proposal: your experience with DigitalOcean, AWS, and legacy PHP/web hosting, and a brief description of how you'd approach this project.
