I am documenting this case with the Community's assistance. I transferred from InterServer to Hetzner using their advertised 'free site transfer' Service. The Result was partial:

  • Database: restored to 2024-11-03 (three Months missing)
  • Media files: approximately sixty percent transferred
  • Custom nginx configuration: not migrated, not documented
  • SSL certificates: regenerated instead of transferred

InterServer Response: 'custom configuration outside standard scope.'

I was assisted in manual Reconstruction. Partial Refund obtained. My Knowledge Base now includes:

  • Pre-migration Configuration Export Checklist
  • Verification Steps before DNS Cutover
  • Post-migration Audit Script
