Definitely not so! One time only to do the migration. Afterwards we can go back to the free plan. Only if we need > 1 GB storage we would need a bigger boat - uhm plan.

There is an option to migrate all content but it will cost us $110. I could put up a gofundme page, or directly via paypal (probably cheaper) to collect funds.
