Bandwagon offering migrations to SSD for free

Nyr

Very nice from them to offer this to existing customers first:

Hi from Bandwagon Host!

We have finished setting up our new & powerful gear at our NL location. This includes pure SSD RAID-10 availability for all new customers. But before we announce this to everyone out there, we would like to offer our existing customers to be the first to migrate over to our new SSD servers.

If you'd like us to move your VPS over to an SSD-based node, just send us a ticket and we will move you within 24 hours. All data on your VPS will remain intact, and your IP address will stay the same. Downtime during this migration will be 30 seconds or less, and the best part... the price of your VPS will not increase! 

Have a wonderful weekend! :)

It seems to be only for customers already hosted in NL. They didnt allow a transfer from US to NL. Of course IP would have changed but that wasnt an issue for me.

IP stays the same. ipv6 will forever not be there.

It shouldnt if you're moving from US to NL.

Thanks. What's the OpenVPN part under extras about? Does it install OpenVPN into a container for you?
