I have 2 servers on LT SAVVIS data center (through Server4Sale).
Today I received mails from them that LT is migrating out of Savvis and so my servers need to be transported/built(!) at the DataBank facility. And the server IPs will get changed.
If the servers requires a build, that will mean ill have to configure/reinstall everything again. Thats apart from moving the client accounts from the old server.
Anyone else received the notice from LT?
Which DC is considered more reliable?

The second trace shows that there is a path between New York and Weehawken without going through Washington, even though the first route went through Washington between NY and NJ. The only reason that I can think of is that someone in Washington wants to see the traffic (wink wink)?
I've contacted Savvis, but got the stock response "Savvis� backbone routers forward traffic through the optimal logical path within our network. Although the physical path may seem odd occasionally, it is actually the optimal path."
Anyone else seeing packet loss / high latency? I was told that Savvis and or Layer3 are having some routing issues tonight.

"Data Center Migration Efforts Underway, from SAVVIS to Databank"
"The LayeredTech data center have informed us that in an effort to optimize the network architecture, they are planning to move all servers from SAVVIS location to a more centralized facility, the DataBank data center which is also located in Dallas."
I am interested in finding out any experiences people have had in the last year or so with Savvis or Net2EZ.
I'm primarily interested in experience with the IP connectivity they provide, as well as their co-location, reliability, etc.
I have experience with Savvis from quite a while ago, but presumably that experience may no longer apply.
It's likely we will end up buying transit from multiple carriers and deal with BGP, etc.
But I am also interested in hearing about Savvis's Diverse Internet availability product.
As for Net2EZ, I'd be primarily interested in hearing about their colo services and if anyone has had experience connecting to Carriers in the next door Equinix facility.

I am in the process (or my server manager is) of migrating my server from one provider to another. Once all the files have been migrated and everything is "set" on the new server, what do I need to do with respect to the name servers? I currently have 2 name servers NS1.Mymainwebsite.com and NS2.Mymainwebsite.com. Each registered with an IP address from my current server host. Once I migrate, do I only need to re-register the name servers under my main website with their new IPs? Or does every person with a web site domain on my server need to "re-register" the IP address of the name servers.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe are migrating all of our users from one box to another. We were planning on changing the TTL settings in DNS so the move would be a little more transparent to the users but we can't seem to find a option to change the TTL for all of the accounts on the box.
Is there an option to do this? If not, is there a better way to handle this?
I'm currently running various sites on a single server but cause the requirements are no longer satisfied by the current configuration i started renting a more powerful server in a different provider. Both servers are running CPANEL/WHM. I have migrated sites from WHM servers before but the problem i had was having to update all domains to point to the dns servers of the new server - which is harder than it sounds when the sites (and domains) belong to clients. Is is possible to move to the new server without having to update the domain registrars?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAnyone know the correct way to do this? I've been on here looking at a few threads and on lxlabs forum but my solution can't be resolved. I'm sure its something easy.
Here goes,
I'm migrating from an lxadmin VPS to another lxadmin VPS.
The problem I have is that my IP's for the HOME>DNS TEMPLATE and HOME>IP ADDRESSES are the same as my old VPS.
Now I can change the IP in the DNS template, however under HOME>DNS TEMPLAES>CREATE NEW it doesn't have my NEW VPS IP's listed in the drop-down menu. I read somewhere in an LxAdmin tutorial to update LxAdmin to get your current IP's assoicated with your new VPS. I did this and nothing changed.
In addition to the DNS Templates not being correct, In HOME>IP ADDRESSES it also lists the same OLD VPS IP's. Saw a thread in LxLabs forum with someone that had the same problem. Their help stated to just change the IP ADDRESS to your new one. I would do that but there is no option to allow me to ADD a new IP. Again i'm in HOME>IP ADDRESSES here.
Basically I have one website hosted (add-on domain) on a shared server. Now this domain has to moved to another server on its own. I have no doubt backing up the database from the current server and restoring it but is there an easy way to move the website, mailbox contents? Both servers are cPanel plans, I would just use copy account in WHM if it was not an add-on domain.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm running into some troubles moving my Webalizer installation. I want to keep all my stats, so what I did was to copy all the files to my new host, checked permissions as well.
Each website outputs their logs to a separate log file, and that log file is pointed to in the respective webalizer.conf.
My problem is that when I try to run webalizer -c /path to conf file/ it tells me that it found x new records (good!), but then it ignores all of them. Every single time it'll tell me it found so and so many records, and says, "(number of new records) ignored".
So I'm not sure what I've missed in the config, and why it can't update.
I am going to migrate my current vps using lxadmin to a new vps that runs cpanel. IS there a quick and easy way to migrate?
View 4 Replies View Relatedto migrate domains to another server with zero downtime. There is a panel (but its webminish) and I have full root access to everything so this will be a hands on job.
The thread I recalled seeing was about someone hosting shoutcast servers and they wanted to migrate and there was a way they did this without any downtime.
I can't remember the details but it had a way to redirect all traffic to the new machines. This would be great, as I also want to direct all traffic including mails (not just HTTP).
I'm fed up with the overloaded 1&1 shared hosting, looking into VPS now as I'm finally getting serious about one of my sites.
I tried offloading scripts and images to amazon s3, which helps a bit, but any sort of php application processing is painful.
Admittedly, I haven't implemented caching at all yet and my query count is definitely bad but even so load times seems excessive as the site isn't getting any real use yet, just me testing (and I will make heavy use of caching for all entry points in the near near future).
My must-have:
-PHP5
-2 seperate MySQL databases
-htaccess/mod_rewrite
-fast initial response time on loads
-unlimited subdomains would be nice
Don't really care about the control panel as long as it does what I need. I'm fine with command line and managing myself... looking for a cheap option that will allow me to grow to a medium sized site before I consider a full dedicated option.
Also, don't need an outrageous amount of bandwidth as I'm using S3 for css,js,images, and video right now.
I will be running two domains on this site... one is the actual site and one is a single sign on gateway that won't put too much load on the cpu but needs to serve up pages in timely fashion.

Ive looked for a long time now trying to find the perfect tutorial to migrate my clients (on cPanel) to my VPS without downtime. Every tutorial i found doesnt tell you how to make it so you dont have any downtime at all.

I'm facing few little problem and I will appreciate if someone can give me a helping hand here with this problems and tips.
1. Wordpress pLugin Installtion : I can't install plugin directly from my wordpress dashbaord. It's asking for host information (FTP), but I would like to be like what i had it in previous host. I know issue is with the permission but I don't know how to resolve it. If you can give your 2 cents here and keep in mind I'm a newbie with server stuff so proper steps will be much appreciated, or I have to open a support ticket to Knownhost, what should I ask them to do.
This is what I can see here "To perform the requested action, connection information is required."
2. WHM optimization : From my understanding any system when installed is a raw system, either be a computer, server or wordpress and we have to optimize it. So What do I need to do to optimize the performance of my server (WHM) and hardening the security.
3. Cpanel Security and Optimization : I have create a cpanel and Same questions for cpanel, anything I need to do to optimize the cpanel in terms of security and performance.
