Migration from Frappe Cloud to self hosted

Hi, I’m considering adopting ERPNext for my company and at the moment I’m undecided between Frappe Cloud and self hosted, but I’m leaning towards Freappe Cloud for the moment being.

If I decide to deploy ERPNext on Frappe Cloud, and later realize self hosted would be a better option, how easy would it be to migrate my data from one instance to another? Does ERPNext already contain functionality to aid with this kind of scenario? Are there any costs involved for this with the Frappe Cloud service?

Setting up production for Frappe Framework (and all associated apps like ERPNext) is not a very beginner friendly process specially when it comes to updates, ssl, multi-sites, domain mapping, using bench, etc…

This is what makes Frappe Cloud very useful specially for novice users.

Transferring hosting on the other hand is very straightforward, download the same apps on the new host. Then from frappe cloud backups export the database, public, private and site config

On your host you can use bench to import them
