Build migration paths to other hosting providers

Problem/Motivation

We do not want subscribers to be locked in to using our starter hosting, or other providers to be locked out.

Proposed resolution

Provide officially supported migration paths for subscribers to move their sites to other hosts. One possibility is to use the list of Drupal hosting providers → from drupal.org.

For sites launched from the Drupal CMS launch button on the drupal.org home page, instead of offering permanent site subscriptions we could offer trial extensions, so users would be encouraged to move their sites to a supporting partner.

Remaining tasks

  1. Determine how migration paths would work. Maybe change the subscription widget to a renew or migrate widget once the site owner subscribes. Drupal hosting providers may be able to make the process easier by providing migration paths on their end.
  2. Deploy code to enable migration.
  3. Document migration paths.
