Via our Graffiti support forums the question “How can I switch servers?” came up. The answer, if you used the default configuration, is very simply.  It’s also very simple to run Graffiti locally, configure everything you want, and then deploy it to your hosting provider.

The reason this is simple is because the default GraffitiCMS configuration uses a file based database system so you can simply copy the files off of one server and paste them to the new server. You will have to configure the application and permissions again as highlighted in our installation documentation, but it should be a 5-10 minute operation.

The tip here, that I recommend for people setting up your sites, is that it is super easy to have a local version of your site running that you can simply push updates to. I set up my sites by getting them running locally, doing all the data imports, completing the theming, and then just copied it over.
