Move whole VPS

n1kkon1kko Member

I have a VPS with a few sites running centos and cPanel. What's the easiest way to move to another VPS?

Do I setup the new server with cPanel and copy sites over?

    Hi,

    The most ideal way would be to install the VPS with cPanel. and then use the Copy Multiple Sites Function. if it was just a standard setup with cPanel. Then you could use rsync.

  • Idera's R1Soft Bare Metal Restore but it would cost you a little.If interested you may contact @George_Fusioned

    Both XEN so will setup new cPanel and configure the server. Then copy multiple sites. Just takes too damn long :(

    if it is Xen you could always simply ask your host to upload a copy of your disk image somewhere and then your new host can import it, bit of a pita but not hard.

    Customer: - Please upload an image of my 50GB VPS somewhere so i can download it.
    Host: - Sure, right away.

    @rds100 been there done that, like I said not hard just a pita :)

    Also it can be shrunk to a more practical size first :), then obviously if both hosts use solusvm the host can simply provide a copy of the backup tar.gz file

    Transferring a 50GB file at 100Mb/s (feasible if both hosts are using 1Gb/s connections) would take just over an hour.

    Yes, depending on port speed and full size.

    As Anthony said you could also ask the host to tar.gz your VPS.

    In a perfect world. Of course, nodes will be using bandwidth, so you are looking at half of that speed even.
