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?
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 would you migrate a highly activate mysql db to another server without downtime.
I can easily point the IP in the script to the new server in 1 second.
However, how to physically move the DB instantly without downtime?
I don't like the idea of export, import and then point IP.

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.

As far as the cost is concerned they will be deciding the cost on a case to case basis.

In your opinion how much downtime is too much downtime?
1, 2, 5 hours over the course of a month? 99.8%, 98%, 95% total uptime too little?
I mean I can understand technical difficulties and I am willing to be patient with my host especially when the service (when it is up) is good but where exactly do you draw the line, start asking questions, or canceling that contract and demanding your refund?

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.

i've recently been experiencing a lot of apache downtime on my eUKhost VPS. anyone else having this problem? it's driving me crazy and i'm thinking about moving.
View 7 Replies View RelatedRecently our provider has been having unplanned long outages (along with a complete server move that took several hours). This has turned out uptime statistic from exemplary to mediocre (100% to <99%).
As we are a hosting company and normally have an extremely good amount of uptime, when is it time to give up on the provider? I am extremely concerned this will become regular and our uptime will simply continue to go down the drain, however, they have been good and have been the main attribution to our 100% uptime (along with our great technicians and hardware).

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am the webmaster for a high level court system. We run mainly .php and MySQL like most do. We are in the process of doing a transfer to 1 and 1. I want to be able to test everything (database wise) before I do the transfer. I thought the best way to do so would be to purchase another DNS name and server and transfer everything there first to test and then when that is fully operational have a redirect to there and do the DNS name transfer from the old site to 1 and 1, and when the DNS name is on 1 and 1 take the redirect off . I don’t want any downtime at all.
This might not be the most cost effective but for downtime I thought it would be the best way, especially when I can have a live test before the transfer.

In the forum here i put a story about when i was changed to vz45 from vz69 some months ago and the problem is growing. One month ago, around 1/oct, was a half day.
Yesterday i detect a problem at 08:40 am aprox, and they are working in that but something is AWFUL here.[url]
I have many domains and webservers. so it's hard to monitor everything usually. i heard there are some websites and softwares to do this.
does windows 2003 have anything default like this ? or can anyone suggest the application for my windows 2003 server? which sends alerts if any error is going on my server?
Also there any other websites which is doing this monitoring? because i have some shared accounts and i want to monitor it too.
I'm having a bit of a quabble with my current host because our server was unreachable for an extended period yesterday, and since I made a traceroute that arrived at their datacenter but not at our server, I was assuming it's a crystal clear network issue.
Today however they tell me that a traceroute means nothing. To quote them:
Quote:
Please note that having a traceroute end prematurely does not always indicate a problem with the network it ends at. Being that traffic is typically asynchronous, the return path back to you does not follow the same providers. Your traceroute can not fully take into account network connectivity issues on the return path nor will it show them. You would need a traceroute to and from the server at the time of the issue (while this may be impossible if the server is down, opening a ticket immediately and informing the technician you would like a traceroute to X.X.X.X IP would hopefully catch the return path issue).
What do I make of this? First time I've heard that, when the network is down, I need to contact my host to tell me. But without any polemic - is this what it boils down to?
It is probably acceptable for a site on shared hosting to have some downtime. However, how much is acceptable?
According to Pingdom one of my sites had a total downtime of 14 hrs for Feb. One time it was reportedly down for 4 hrs.
I had set it up to ping every 15 mts. Are these results trustworthy? And if it is should I move my host? Or at least tell them to move my site to another server?
The reason I ask is because I was wondering if this was the norm for shared hosting.
I have a server that used to be with Hostgator. There is a hundred accounts and the average load is 0.5. It has 2 gigs of RAM, a Dual-Core Pentium D and 2x Sata HDDs in Raid-1. At one point it started being very often (at least once a day) down. It would be all of the sudden down. I used to monitor it, with 0.2 load average, and all of the sudden, the connection is lost, I can't access the web sites, etc... Fed up, after several weeks pressuring over Hostgator, I cancelled the server, I contracted the same configuration at Softlayer and contracted TouchSupport to manage the new server. They migrated the hundred web sites to the new server... Exact same problem. Every single day, any time of the day the server is down. There's no specific time. And right before it's down, load average is below 1. From the logs, there's nothing unusual. Softlayer changed the CPU and RAM just to make sure. Same problem. It's been a month like this, and I just don't know what to do at this point. Moving to yet another company doesn't seem to be a solution I think. If it were a DoS, load average would be very high before going down, but it's always very low right before. Do you know what may be causing it?
