It depends on host. Each host might act differently. On the other hand, even if host would allow full migration to other hardware, I'm 99% sure that you will not get any deals on such change and you would pay full price for the new plan that is closest to your Intel, just with Ryzen CPU. But if you would choose manual migration yourself, you could catch a BF/NY deal with X% off the real price. You would sacrifice your time, but if you keep the VM for long time, you don't have to pay monthly/yearly the added price.
e.g. I have AlphaVPS storage VM that I bought n years ago (could look for exact dates, but it doesn't matter) during BF for borg backups. It was 128GB VM, a year or two ago I had to upgrade to 256GB. They moved the VM to a different host, but I paid full 25Eur+VAT for this now. At this moment there is only 30GB free space, so I would have to upgrade to the next level, which is 512GB for 42Eur+VAT, but I just noticed in their BF2023 thread that they have 750GB for 29Eur+VAT. That saves me almost 20Eur/year, I get more disk space, but I will have to do the manual migration from one machine to the other. It will not be instant, but on the other hand, I will have newest OS version
Yah, this makes sense. Even I'd be comfortable moving the whole webserver to Ryzen. Oh yah, forgot to mention, it's nothing but a simple OLS server and I don't have a lot going on there. The mail server would be a bit difficult to setup, but, that's about it. I was just curious if that's even a possibility. I have experience with virtualisation software (VirtualBox, etc.) and recently, Proxmox. But, have never known or seen an actual host's control panel. That's why the curiosity.
No. Except big big big players (Cloud in-name, bill in millions
) you can expect IP change on node change.
Migrations are seriously easy and fast as long as you know one pretty stupid trick. If your new disk is at least as big (or bigger - if it's smaller that's possible too but it's a little more complicated then) than the old one you can simply
ddthe disk to the new VM using a live/rescue system on the target. In theory you should mount the disk of the source VM read-only before starting the copy process (or also use a live/rescue system) but practically it's superfluous (chances for bad transfer are so small they are neglible).You basically run that on the source VM:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/stdout bs=1M | ssh [email protected] -c 'dd if=/dev/stdin of=/dev/sda bs=1M'(obviously assuming your disk device is named sda while your target VM should be booted into a live/rescue system at that point). Just be careful to actually run it on the source VM and not make errors with the actual commands as usingddthe wrong way can easily overwrite your disk and thus trash all your data.Once your disk is copied all you need to do to is either mount it in the rescue system on the target VM and adjust network settings so they'll match target VM's configuration (you can basically copy them from what the rescue system is using) or simply boot the target VM and do the appropriate changes over VNC. After that you have successfully migrated your system (if your new disk is bigger than the old one you should - well, if you care for the extra space at least - also resize your filesystem to use all of the available space but that is also pretty easy and there's a ton of howtos to be found by a quick google search).
Never lose hope
Damn wall of texts I am not going to read those
Only wall of text I will read is giveaways message
i only read Jabi's text
I can't read beyond three lines of text, I'm too bored
Ouch! I prefer desktop computers with no working webcam
thats why i rely on Jabi news.
--
jabi's naked news that is.
Got it. Anyways, I don't mind doing a manual restore.
Mine has had a strip of two sided tape stuck on the webcam since the day I got it. This was before the time those physical webcam sliders started showing up.
But you read this
no
no balls.
Show bobs and vagene
Ok round 2. Go!
Anyway as you are idling it makes no different if you idle Intel or Ryzen! Is there a reason you trying to migrate?
Hi, I would like to double my bandwidth.

Thank you very much!

Hi bro
As mentioned earlier, the server has my website hosted. Was inquiring about Ryzen cause if in the future the project's requirements increase (better PHP, MySQL concurrency), then Ryzen would be better.
Good morning people
