Just to add, if you pick the Business plan and want to use our free migration services then you would need to pay for a year of hosting upfront: 👍

From our [Migrating to Discourse | Discourse - Civilized Discussion](https://www.discourse.org/migrations) page:

> How much does it cost?
> 
> On our [Business hosting](https://www.discourse.org/pricing) we cover three days of standard migration work with one year of hosting payment upfront. (If you qualify for a non-profit or education discount, the discounted pricing won’t take effect until after that first year is up.)
> 
> On our [Enterprise hosting](https://www.discourse.org/pricing) three days of custom migration work is covered, with three months of hosting paid upfront (or a commitment to a minimum of one year).
> 
> Three days is generally enough to migrate most communities. Extra time is only needed for extremely complex migrations or for communities with millions of users or topics/threads.
> 
> If more than three days is required, extra time is charged at our hourly rate of $250. If we can see the database ahead of time, we can estimate how much extra time might be required. If you accept our estimate, we will only charge for actual time worked.
