Are There Any Companies That Can Help Us Migrate Servers (whm)
May 24, 2007
We will be soon migrating to a bigger more powerful server and we were wondering if there was any companies that can do a nice job regarding this matter...
We found rack911.com but we were wondering if there were any others and if you had any experience with them.
At my company we have running some Helm 3/4 servers and we've installed a new server with Plesk 12 for testing.Do you know a good way to migrate these servers (more than 6) to Plesk 12?.Helm is bringing to me a lot of problems and also servers must be renewed.
I currently run a dedicated server with redhat 9 installed and will be migrating to a new server with a choice of Red Hat Fedora Core, CentOS 5.x, FreeBSD 6.x, FreeBSD 7.x
I dont have experience with these o/s's and was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience of migration or admin and would recomend the best in their opinion to go to, bearing in mind I am currently on redhat 9 and know that o/s pretty well.
I am trying to migrate a user from a shared hosting account to a new account on my VPS, however.... whenever I do i keep on getting that the archive MD5 does not match.
I currently have a couple servers with NAC and am looking to replace one of them with something a little more "up to date".
They said it would be no problem to move the old IPs to the new machine. As some of my customers are using my applications based on IP address, I don't want to necessarily interrupt their service. If it were simply hostnames they were using, it would be easy.. but since some are based on IP address, seems more difficult based on my what I know.
Is there any way to do this in a seamless fashion with little or no downtime?
I'm currently on a Linode VPS and have a couple of websites that I want to migrate to a dedicated box. I wonder what would be the easiest way to do this: website files/directories, mysql databases, etc.
Can I run 'scp' to scoop everything out to the new server?
By the way, I don't have any control panel installed on the server.
I would like to purchase a server for personal use with one hard drive, and after a couple of months I would like to upgrade to RAID 1 (by paying extra for the RAID controller and the second hard drive). Is it possible to just migrate to RAID 1? I'm not sure if that's possible. Maybe you can just completely mirror the first HD to the new HD and then continue with RAID 1? Or does it require an OS reinstall? According to SoftLayer live sales chat, it's not possible. According to Server4Sale live chat, it is possible.
Probably been asked a million times but after spending 30 min searching since the limit is 130 seconds between searches... Anyway, i am VERY unhappy with ModVPS as my server keeps going on and off and on and off and they tell me its "fixed" but it keeps doing it to all of my staff even... anyway enough of that
I purchased a really nice dedicated server and need to know how to migrate all accounts over without having any downtime and allowing people to still use their website as normal. I have about 60 clients and would hate to see one of them upset because their data was lost during propagation when they connected to the old server instead of the new, exc.
Is the best method to setup a cluster through cpanel? Or is there a better way?
How easy is it to migrate both Apache and PHP from VC6 to VC9? Is there a tutorial somehwere? This is on a production server. So I would need it not to break my Apache/PHP install.
I need some real multidomain shared hosting accounts (ie DirectAdmin, Hsphere, or cPanel only with WHM access because no way I am going to use add-on domains), with support for 4 domain names, 1GB disk space, 40gb multihomed bandwith, fast mysql server with at least 6databases.
My budget is less than 30US$/mo/account, and i need both PHP5 and Mysql 5.
Now this would seem pretty regular requirements. The fact is I would like to get some of these accounts in not-so-popular locations for an application I am developing and some tests I will do, etc.
The California/Chicago/Dallas/NewYork part was quite easy, indeed ...
Now I am looking for some decent webhosting companies co-locating in : - Upper West USA (any amongst Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, etc) - Colorado (ie, Denver) - Kansas - Vienna,McLeod corner in VA, or at the very least maybe Asburn,VA - Toronto, Canada
If you are a web hoster and you colocate in some of these places please anwer: I don't think a simple message like "We are amongst the hosting companies located in XYZ" without reference to plans, price or promotions would be considered self-advertising in any way and is far better, useful and more informative than writing a post like "look at the advertising section, I am sure you will find some", because trust me I am searching till hours and I dind't find any:
I am hosting my wordpress blog on a web hosting that is not that reliable as it go down once in a while for few hours without any prior notification of sheduled maintenance.
However, i have a question. How do i migrate a wordpress blog with everything intact.. data, information, application, plugins, graphics and domain name?
I have a client that is using proboards.com and they are tired of all the ads / limitations. They want to migrate to their own copy of SMF but they have over 1000 users and tons of posts.
Does anyone know if you can migrate your data from proboards.com?
As the title reads, what is the best method if you using WHM to migrate accounts from one server to the other and experience the least amount of downtime?
I know WHM has it's function where you can migrate all the accounts simply. And from my view point, you should migrate the accounts, then update the DNS (nameservers) for the new server, and that would reduce the downtime?
After researched and looked around for info, i decide to go with DA but i still have a problem with my current server that if I'd like to migrate all my email accounts from OS X server to FreeBSD and reload the OS X server for that box to use for other purpose. I wonder if it is possible to migrate all email accounts from Mac OS X server to FreeBSD ?
For FreeBSD box, I am going to use DirectAdmin for web control panel since that box is AMD based. I would appreciate a lot for your help or hint otherwise thanks for reading.
Currently I am using Apache 2.4.9 OpenSSL 1.0.1g (VC10), want to migrate openSSL 1.0.1h to resolve the vulnerability issue.is there way to migrate openssl alone in my existing apache build ?
Found some in WHT ads forum, provide 800 GB space and 8000GB bankwitch. Other companies are similar offer. I talked with them, and ask: "Do you really provide 800 GB space?" they replied, yes.
Then I told them I am going to order. I have a 600GB sized website want to move into it and planed finish moving in 3 weeks to 1 month, then they just left me there, never had one word, so frustrating.
Asked a few more, and got similar result.
Are they real companies with real ads? If not, Why WHT allow false ads listed in there and waste us time.
What are some good monitoring companies that can keep track of downtime. Even more specifically looking for companies that can send an sms alert or possibly reboot the server following ceartin instructions during a downtime.
Though please provide all suggestion (even if they don't do the above).
I own a IT/Computer related blog site & community right now. I have plans to contact the top 25-50 hosting companies posing as a potential new client. I plan ask questions similar to the following and publish it on my blog. (This project will be geared towards shared hosting only, on low to mid sized budgets.
1.) What are the exact specs of the shared servers you are using? Smp, Uni processors? What are the manufactures of this hardware?
2.) How many clients are added to a server before it's considered 'Full'? If your company doesn't use this method, then what is the average I/O, CPU, & Memory usage on a full server in the opinion of your company for shared hosting?
3.) What is your mass email policy? Emails per hour?
4.) Where is the physical location of your companies shared servers in regards to country, city, and state?
5.) Are you a Reseller? If so, with whom do you resell for?
6.) Physical location of Technical Support?
7.) What is the average wait time for a Technical Support ticket submission during server peek hours for your company?
8.) Do you currently have a link of client testimonials that includes URL's to the clients website?
Do you think publishing this information to be public for each host would be illegal, imoral, or disrespectful in anyway? If not, does anyone have any other suggestions as far as questions that are usually not disclosed on hosts website in regards to shared hosting?
Anyone know of a listing of hosting companies based on the location of their offices? I don’t care where their servers are but I would like to know that I am dealing with a company that is local. (By the way, I live in the northern part of Virginia and I consider metro DC and all of Virginia to be local.)
I'm currently using Bluehost to run some of my clients web sites. Nothing with huge traffic or sophistication, but good uptime is a requirement.
I used to use webfusion, but they were expensive and unreliable, and their support was bad. I migrated all of my sites to Bluehost, at considerable expense in terms of billed time.
At the moment, the server I am running on has been down for 16 hours with a projected further 12 hours to restore. I find this unacceptable.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could sign up to two shared hosting providers, but manage the DNS in such a way I can switch between the two?
Sort of a crude co-location (my clients aren't in the market for high end services). Having been burnt more than twice -I don't want to trust just one company.
I still have some NT 4s and Windows 2000 servers out there. My main issues are these are very very old clients who will not want to move, either their programmers had long disappeared or they just had an attachment to their old servers.
Now what should I do with these? Or rather what do you guys facing similar issues deal with this? Migrate these old contented clients and risk breaking something or just leave it as it is?
