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.
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.
I have a collocated server which I'd like to do some upgrades to. I'm having it shipped back to me so that I can do the upgrades myself. However, since I use this as my primary email server, I need help setting something up so I have no email downtime.
I have a cheap shared hosting account with DreamHost so one idea I have is to point the domain to their servers and handle things through there for a bit. This seems like the "brute force" way to do it though since I have to wait for DNS propagation and what not. Another idea was to use a service like DynDNS' MailHop BackupMX which does storage and forwarding. However, this service is kind of expensive ($30) considering I'm only going to use it a week or so.
I've been a layeredtech customer since early 2005, and until this last insane price-hike fiasco, I've never had a major complaint.
But now it keeps getting worse.
I wound up keeping this particular server around after the price hike (for several reasons, one of which was misinformation from a LT sales person regarding the prepay option) and several days ago received an email stating that my server would have to be moved, and that due to the chassis type of my old server, they could not move my server, I would need to migrate to a new server.
The email was less than forthcoming with details, so I tried to phone the person who sent me the email. The call went straight to his voicemail, where I left a couple messages asking him to return my calls, which he never did.
Finally I called their Sales department to figure out what was going on, and finally spoke with a nice & friendly guy (in a different department), who he stated that he felt like he was in the middle, and he just wanted to help us (the affected customers) out.
Okay, I figure I can handle moving all my custom software to a new server figuring that they would find some comparable piece of hardware to move me to at the same cost.
No.
I was told I would have to pay around 10% more per month for a server with only a slightly faster CPU, only 1GB of ram and only 1 hard-drive (current server has 1.5GB of ram & 2 hard-drives mirrored)
Oh, and I have to have everything moved by the 18th of October.
And I'll have to pay for 2 servers while I move.
Or, I might be able to have the server moved to a different space at Savvis, but that would likely only be a short-term solution, and this situation would come up again.
I find this really appalling--they really must hate their customers who helped them through the early years!

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 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 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.

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?
