Move All Our Sites On New Server From Telehouse
Sep 22, 2008
we're a webdesign company who also sell hosting (white labled). we have over 500 websites hosted with a company (based at telehouse in london - which is a good selling point for us when selling hosting packages). Theyve been really good (reliable servers, good support, good control panel etc...). Theyve also won awards for the reliability of their servers. Unfortunatley, over the past year we've noticed theyve raised their charges by quite a bit and the support has been very poor.
My question is: does anyone reccommend a company we can move all our sites to? this is obviously business critical (not only for us but for all our clients too!), and so we want to be absolutely certain of the company and what they can offer before we move over everything.
We've thought about a dedicated server with 1&1. It would be a fraction of the cost, but I always believe in 'you get what you pay for'. could this be the case here?

how to move my web sites from one host to another?
I believe my new host will happily do so.. and, I'd really like to know how to do it myself.
Two of the sites have blogs with lots of posts on them.
If you know of any video tutorials, I'd appreciate it.
I've watched one on backing up the site to "remote ftp server". I do not know what that means and have not been able to find a description/definition.

I wasn't sure if this would be better posted in the resellers forum, but that seemed to generally be reviews of companies.
Anyway, I work for a company who is trying to move a large amount of sites from one server to a new one. I was looking for the best way to handle this, since you run into issues with mySQL databases, file permission getting lost in ftp, ect.

I see several ISP advertising that they can help clients without any downtime? I now have a couple of large clients I am supposed to move to my servers. They are moving from cpanel servers to my cpanel servers, so the moving part is easy enough, but how should I proceed to have no or very little downtime?

Here's my plan: colo servers for VoIP in either Switch and Data NYC or Telehouse NYC (or possibly Equinix Newark NJ). Purchase bandwidth from InvisibleHand.net, who can give me a direct connection of IP bandwidth from DTAG DeutscheTelecom
People say DTAG has awesome bandwidth, and I know I can get it pretty cheap from InvisibleHand.
Any comments on this plan? Which of the 3 locations is best for the price? I don't want to buy from a reseller (since they may go under). I want my colo direct from whoever owns it like Switch and Data.

I'm going to be moving to a new server soon. Does anyone have a list, or recommended reading describing what one needs to do when moving to a new server?
I can't seem to find any info on this.. probably because i'm not wording it correctly

Is there a more simple and efficient way?

I've been with LayeredTech and my yearly renewal is up. Their pricing went up significantly, so I'm shopping at SoftLayer amongst others. My site gets roughly 700k unique visitors and 1.8 million pageviews. These numbers will likely go up. I run vBulletin and Joomla dbs. I have two identical servers (one has cPanel). They are configured:
Dual Quad Core 5310 Intel XEON's 1.60 GHz-- Dual 73GB SCSI drives - 4GB RAM -- 8GB Cache.
The webserver uses Litespeed as an apache replacement.
Q: They are offering upgrades to either Xeon 5320 or 5335. Does anyone have a recommendation on either?
Q: I've heard that database servers don't necessarily need as much spec wise as webservers. Should I upgrade my webserver? Downgrade the mySQL server?
Unfortunately, I need to make this move today to get the pricing and put the wheels in motion, so I don't get billed by Layered Tech for 1 year of service.

I was just wondering is it possible to move a directory to another server through SSH?
I bought a website a few weeks ago and I have all the files on the server except 30gb of content, now I've tried to put the folder into a tar archive but every time I try it brings up this error:
So I need a way to drag that folder from the old server to my new server through SSH because it will take me ages downloading and uploading all the content.

I'm a programmer at a company, and since I'm the only technical inclined person I have been given the responsibility of a "server" move - even though I'm a bit on the deep end here.
At the moment we have a shared hosting solution were we have our email and an ASP.NET application. We need better performance and thus we are moving to a dedicated server at ServerBeach.
I need to install our app at the dedicated server (that's the easy part), and then I need to setup Exchange Server (hard part) and then also obviously move the domain so it points at the new domain.
I have never ever installed Exchange on a server and I've heard it's a real PITA.
My checklist is this:
Install db
Install app
Make a redirect from the old server place to the new server
Set up Exchange Server 2007
Point the domain to the new place.
I'm the process of reading a 172-page long guide from MS on how to installing Exchange 2007, but I'd be interested in hearing any hints and tips on this.

I got an idea that using r1soft CDP to move server, since it provides restoring data to a different server. But I never used it, not sure if it is doable.
Any one did this before? any requirements (software/hardware) for new server that will be moved in?

I have two dedicated server, and I want move a domain from one to the other.
Although I changed the name server 3 or 4 weeks ago, still some mails hit to old server (this can be checked after POP3 login with IP address of old server).
Most of mail reach to a new server but still some to old.
if this would be propagation problem with ISP or something wrong with DNS set up on the server?

Only just started designing sites for clients as an add-on to promotional work, all of which are on shared servers that clients have organised for themselves, so all we do is Ftp content to the servers when required. However, we now have a client who wants to use video on their site, which, I understand, requires a dedicated server if we do not want to use a video hosting service (is there a video hosting service that does not demand credit when the video is run?).
The move to a dedicated server is a step into the unknown for us. If we have a dedicated server, does this give us the potential to host other client sites on it? What should we be looking for in terms of bandwidth, transfer rates, etc? Can anyone recommend good video streaming software? What are the potential pitfalls?

Is there a way to backup Plesk and all configuration, databases, websites and restore to a new server with new IP's easily?
We want to move a Plesk installation from one host to our local data center where we will install Plesk locally. We are running Plesk on Virtuozzo at the current installation.

to move 14 servers from one facility in the Westin Building to another. IPs are changing too.
Any nuggets of wisdom to share on things that I need to make sure happen for the move to be successful?
Here is my list so far:
- lower TTLs on A records in DNS to 600 seconds at least 24 hours before move.
- prepare to update IPs in config files for each server for networking, firewall, email servers, apache configs andresolv.confs.
- ensure backup MX is ready to handle the load.

A chicken or egg type of problem with potential to escalate into an egg on the face problem.
I have two VPS accounts with PowerVPS, which we need to move to one new VPS account. Problem is I'm not sure how to handle the DNS move or settings to minimise downtime.
Currently the DNS is spread over the two VPS accounts. How do we keep the same DNS names and move to one new VPS without dramas?
PS. Before you say "ask PowerVPS", they don't support DNS config on two VPS accounts.

way to move data from one server to another? I have root access to both my servers, but I'm not sure how I would move one entire domain without having to FTP it. The databases I can do manually by importing a dump to the new server. I'm just wondering about the files itself.

Lots of things have improved in the last 5 or so years with regards to hosting.. faster hardware, improved control panels, cheaper bandwidth.. but the ability to keep your eye on your box whilst out and about is definitely amongst them I'd say.
So share your tech tips for when you're not at your desktop for monitoring your sites.
Key hardware: My iPhone. 3G is prevalent in my locality, but the deal on o2 means I also get free access to the two largest UK public wifi hotspots - TheCloud and BT OpenZone. Whilst some of these are free anyway (such as ones in pubs) being able to walk through town whilst on a wifi connection can be really useful if the 3G is lagging or just not there.
Software:
Pingdom - It's not the flashiest of all apps, but it tells you what you need to know - is the server up?! It'll echo all your reports for all servers into one quick and easy screen. I really hope Pingdom puts even more time and effort into this, it could make the service unbeatable with a few more features. The app is free too, which is a bonus.
TouchTerm - there's a bunch of SSH clients for the iPhone out there, I've not had chance to try any of the others but will do at some point. All my accounts are bookmarked in and I can replicate whatever I need to with ease. I've installed software and configured it with relative ease just using the touch keypad. It was either free or at most a dollar or two.
iStat - The software/server combination used to be Mac only but someone has ported the server side over to *nix now and it runs pretty well. I'm having issues with one of my boxes showing it's bandwidth usage but I'll look more into that. Live CPU/Memory figures AND graphing?! Very impressive, and if you're doing face to face with your client it's bound to be a good thing to show off (make sure it's working first tho!!). It was £1.19/$1.99 on promotion when I bought it, should still be for a little more.
Critical email accounts IMAP'd - all my key accounts are on 15minute checks, and I'll be making an emergency PUSH account for when time is very much of the essence. Having instant access to email is absolutely essential on a handheld device these days, and the iPhone does a pretty neat job of it.
EverNote - great note syncing between various boxes. No more having to ring people to jump on my laptop to read me out an IP address or similar ever again.

I can't find any straight answers when searching Google. I've been stuck in a what has become a nightmare server move for about 2 weeks now.
After finally getting a mysql.sock issue fixed I can get the MYSQL dbs over to the new server but it appears that their permissions need to be changed. Is there a way to handle this from the root level? I have roughly 120 dbs to process
I am moving from a VPS to a dedicated server - both have root access.
