Migration from a dedicated server to a VPS

What are the technical requirements for data migration?

Your hard drives' storage capacity shall not be bigger than the one of the new server.
Neither of these virtualization technologies is used: OpenVZ/KVM/Xen/VMware.
The OS Linux is used.
The Linux kernel modules are not used.

If the data is migrated to one of the activated servers, all data on the server will be erased.
VPS servers have a different set of available additional services (additional IP addresses, backup space, etc.). If your dedicated server uses any additional services, please check whether they are compatible with VPS.
Your new VPS will have a new IP address. Also, you will not be able to keep the additional IP addresses. If you need additional IPs, you will have to order them separately.

To do it, please take the following steps:

Choose your server and its additional services. If necessary, submit a ticket to the customer care department. Our specialists will help you choose the most suitable plan.
Order a new server: open the Place an Order section -> choose a server's configuration -> make a comment about the server's migration from a dedicated server. Once you place an order, an invoice will be issued automatically.
Pay the invoice for the installation and the first month's rent fees and wait until the server is activated.
Once your new server is activated, you are free to start data migration.
Once your data is migrated, submit a request to turn the initial server off.

Important!
If your rental period ends in less than 30 days, the prepaid fee is not refunded.
Please submit a ticket to the support department and share the server's credentials. Our specialists will check whether the migration is possible and help you choose a suitable plan.
If we perform the migration, the invoice will include the first month's rent fee + installation fee (if any) + additional services (if necessary).
Once the invoice is paid, you can schedule the installation at any time that suits you (including nighttime and weekends).
Once your data is migrated, submit a request to turn the initial server off.

Important!
If your rental period ends in less than 30 days, the prepaid fee is not refunded.

During the migration, a snapshot of the system is created and all your data, settings, control panel, etc., are transferred as they are.
It will be necessary to update the IP address in DNS. Your additional IPs cannot be transferred. Order them separately, if needed.
The data migration process may take from 2 to 72 hours. It depends on the number of files and session files.
