Moving To New VPS - Smooth Transition
Sep 11, 2008
I'm not sure if this should go in this forum or not so admins feel free to move it to the appropriate place.
I am looking at moving to a new VPS host and was just wondering what the best method of moving sites over while having the least amount of downtime.
Is it better to set up the new VPS with new nameservers and then change the nameservers for each domain once ready to move the sites over, or should I keep the nameservers and just change the IP they point to when ready to switch?

Its becoming more and more difficult to manage VPS using HyperVM and I am personally sick of the control panel design.
So does anyone have any great ideas to move all the VPS in HyperVM (OVZ) to Virtuozzo (PIM)?
If there isn't, I think I'll have to move all data across the orthodox way - which I clearly want to avoid.
PS: OVZ is on a different node from the VZ (duh!) but also will be utilizing different IP ranges. So, I think I need advice on changing IPs of the VEs too.

Just when you thought a host could not possibly get any worse...
THEY DO! <snicker>
This time they have really, really outdone themselves. As many of you know..Plesk is not optional. You can remove it..but..like CP..it's not same as starting fresh.
Well..I login to my big one (The only one I've had problems with)
to see what poor webhostautomation was talking about. A new error...I had never seen it before..and I had attempted to install Helm on this brute many times before..before handing it over to them.
1&1 has added something...and it is the source of this new error..I am almost 100% sure of it. Today..I decided...I give up..ok...you force me to use Plesk..I'll use Plesk.
I try to login to Plesk..guess what..this new addition prevents Plesk from working. Brilliant job, folks!
You can remake it from the primary image..but..that will do you good.
Luckily, I have a backup that does not have this new crap on it...and are restoring the vps from this "clean" backup as we speak.

When cpanel has apache 2.2 available. I am planning on switching my servers over to it and to SuPHP from mod_php. There are hundreds of accounts on my different servers and I am worried about the transition. I know cpanel has a permission conversion script, but I dont completely trust it. The biggest issue to me though, is all the users that have php_values and flags in their htaccess files that would then be needed converted to php.ini's. Has anyone created a conversion script for doing this in an automated fashion?
I might not even convert my full servers to this and just do with the partial ones (less than 25%), but I really think it would benefit the customers and myself with the nice added layer of protection of suphp.

I've been on shared hosting for nigh on 3 years now. My site suddenly started growing rapidly recently and my shared host now has requested that I move onto a VPS or Dedicated as soon as possible (I would stay with them, but they don't have VPS options sadly)
My site is an image host, a dynamic image host too.
About 80% of my visits are from the US so I have decided, even though I am UK, that I need a US VPS.
I need it to be cheap, like $30 (To start with, while I gain funds) and generally reliable.
Would anyone know where such VPSs are? I would like 300MB or more RAM and about 5-10GB of disk space. My main issue right now is quality of customer service, I don't want to end up with a company that either has poor customer service or puts extreme restrictions on activity.

I have two reseller accounts at the moment, where all my domains are spread out at the moment. And I have just purchased a VPS from SolarVPS, and I'm awaiting the account details. Is there a way that I can transfer the sites across easily, such as creating a full backup and then restoring on the new VPS, or would I have do it individually for each website?

It's now coming to the point where I really want to consolidate all of our kit (mainly in the UK) and move to our own AS number, now I already know what routing equipment we're going to use and that is appropriate for the amount of traffic we need to carry, but what I'm stuck with now is which transit providers to use. I don't mind spending a reasonable amount on transit, but not stupid amounts. It also doesn't matter where I can pick these up as the plan we have includes our own links between buildings.
First of all let me say this is going to be a very slow process, so please do not PM me with your offers for transit, I'm not interested.
The plans are to peer at a couple of exchanges, most likely LINX and Xchangepoint, and to pick up around 3/4 transit providers. Because most UK traffic goes via peers, what I'm really looking for are the bigger providers to improve transatlantic routes rather than smaller providers which just make the hop count longer, my shortlist is currently:
Level3
Telia
T-Systems
PCCW
C&W
Interoute
GBLX
Viatel

recently moved from webhosting to VPS less than a month ago.
I got my VPS set up quite easily, however I have been experiencing a lot of downtime.
I have experienced around 60 hours of downtime in the last month itself, and i am quite pissed cause the provider claims 99.9% uptime guarantee.
I want to try out another provider but would not want to get burnt again…
Could you guys recommend any good VPS providers to me?
I would need 512 Ram / 2 IP’s >10GB Disk space and about 250-300GB bandwidth.
But one unique requirement that I have is that I need to run a few irc clients( not ircD servers, eggdrop type bots ) for my services.
Other than that the VPS would be used for a heavy duty forum and high hit website. With several other low hit websites as well.
Services wise I mainly need apache/php and mysql (heavy usage)

Anyone have thoughts about moving from APF to CSF? We are running a cPanel server and have heard lots of good things about CSF.
Anyone have details for a non-technical person?

I'm moving from a VPS to a dedicated server and most of the files/databases have been transferred.
I have a folder (with files) in the /usr/local/ folder of the VPS (chatroom software), is there anyway I can transfer them to the dedicated server in its /usr/local folder through SSH/Telenet?
I have used it before to move my MYSQL database but I was following step-by-step instructions from Vbulletin, I guess this will be different compared to transferring a database backup.

I am presently running a website at ICDSoft on a shared hosting account.
Here are the specs on the server where my site is hosted
Server has
Quote:
2 Quad-core Xeon processors
8 GB RAM
multi-terabyte RAID 6 disk array.
Now, I would like to know, if I move to VPS, which VPS plan would be the best.
How much should my minimum VPS ram be?
Are there any speed tests you would like me to run on my present server?

I just had a thought. If I am moving from one host to the other, the old host would still have my files. Whats stopping them from just using the files to copy my site. Basically is there an easy way to delete my files from my old host?

I have had my social networking site in development for a few months now, and have been using IX web hosting. Slow response times were one thing--I can handle that for now. But, especially now, emails generated by my application and sent to Yahoo are delayed by several days--apparently Yahoo is restricting the number of messages from IX servers?
My app only generates a dozen or so emails.
So ...
1) Is there a workaround with IX?
2) If I switch, should get a dedicated server? Or maybe use the cloud? I have been looking at rackspace, although I haven't received a call-back from their sales team in four days (sic)
3) Other options?

I'm moving away from Mosso after their service is kinda shaky and expensive. For now, my websites don't need scalability.
I looked at WiredTree but they seem to have problems (as posted here) but they do seem like the best of the bunch.
What I'm looking for is managed VPS with spam protection, great uptime, and fully managed (updating software, helping out with DNS changes, etc.)

I have an account with a shared web host and I use that account to host 9 website under 9 different domains. All the domains are hosted as add-on domains under that single shared cpanel account. Now I would like to do a WHM account transfer from the shared hosting to my own VPS server. But I want all my domains to have its own private cpanel accounts.
Is this possible with the WHM automated account transfer feature? or do I have to create cpanel accounts for each domains in my VPS and upload the files manually?

I am a free web hosting service on one of my VPS' and I owuld like to transfer it to another one. How can I do it without creating issues as I would like to move all the accounts with it at the same time.
Current VPS and webhost nameservers
ns1.domain1.com
ns2.domain2.com
New VPS nameservers
ns1.domain2.com
ns2.domain2.com
Now how can I move all the accounts but dont change the nameservers? I mean is it possible to have two different domain name servers pointing to each other?
Not sure if it makes sense but hopefully some expert guy will get to the bottom of it

i have moved my site (pages and data) from my VPS to dedicated.
NOW I want to move the domain from VPS to Dedi.
Both are running on directadmin. I want to quickly move domain so that new user registrations are on the new domain only. Last time when I did this, at some locations domain still resolved at old and I lost some data on old server.
what should i do? I think i need to:
1. update NS at the domain registerar.
2. update the ip address in the DNS administration of old server directadmin so that the ip address is of new server there.

I'm just wondering. Say, you sign up with a host offering a huge discount (50%+ off for a year). And after that year is up, you move to a new host offering another huge discount. You keep doing this, every year.
I'm pretty sure a lot of people do this.
I guess from a webhosts persepctive, it will be quite annoying since they are banking on the fact that the person will stay with them after the initial year.

I've bought a VPS and have copied all of the clients data to the new server. I've setup my resolvers to point to the new nameserver IPs.
Now I need to edit the host.com host record IPs from my old ones to my new ones. (example domain) ns1.host.com and ns2.hosting.com
I've gone to fasthosts' control panel where I registered host.com and attempted to delete the old host records but this fails because other domains are pointing to the current records.
How can I update the host records for ns1 and ns2 with my new nameserver IPs?

I had some very minor concerns with moving from an oversold, over-advertised, and overcrowded shared server (I'll save them another negative review) to an unmanaged VPS.
I believe I am technically capable. I have installed and configured software over SSH for my friend on his dedicated, I've played quite a bit with the Ubuntu Hardy beta and familiarized myself with Linux, and well, I grew up using a command line. (MS-DOS!)
However, I certainly don't know everything there is and I'd be doing quite a bit of learning along the way, to say the least.
So I guess the first question is "Do I sound ready"? I'll have to admit that I'll be put *slightly* out of my comfort zone by this, but I really see no other choice. I'm not going to risk moving to another shared host. By out of my comfort zone, I mean things like I'll be constantly afraid that I'll mistype a remove command and delete my entire server. You know, the little things. =p
So my next question is "Is it remotely possible I'll have a worse experience on even the cheapest VPS than I have on shared hosting?" I'm talking about server loads, download speed, customer service. I know not to expect a ton moving from say a $9.99 shared plan to a $15-$30 unmanaged VPS plan, but I certainly don't want to go backwards.
Some info about my site: ULTRA small vBulletin forum, little over 10K posts, honestly only about 30 really active members, total of users + guests online is rarely over 30. I honestly feel there isn't a NEED for a VPS, even a small one, but I like doing things myself and I'd hardly be paying any more money per month.
However, (and this is a big however) there have been a few occasions where I've been linked to directly from the Windows Media mainpage and our stats have skyrocketed. Are there VPSes that are going to shut me down for this? Even on the days which we've been linked to from WM, the entire monthly bandwidth hasn't even approached 50GB. It wasn't even an issue with my awful shared hosting. It does involve streaming media though, so I'm surprised this wasn't a problem.
There's a good chance I'll be linked to again, as we have an ongoing deal with another website, so if I was okay on a shared server am I going to be OK with the VPS I choose? (I will provide what VPS I am considering as a front runner, if anybody asks, but I really don't want to turn this into a discussion about the host I'm leaving and the host I'm running to)
I will provide *one* thing about my current host, and that's my server load averages over the past few hours...

I am moving all my accounts from one server to another, i have cpanel/whm. Now the first question is whats the best and easiest way to transfer them? I have tried to use copy multiple account from whm and that works fine except that dns records are from old server, that is nameservers! Is there a way to transfer account but also update to new nameserver or i just have to use whm to transfer multiple account at once and then change zones one by one?
Another thing i came up is that i move accounts, leave the same dns as in old server and just change ips of those nameserver on domain to point to a new server namerserver ips?
