Only time will tell. Its a VPS, so upping the ram is just a few clicks and more $$$. I do not know what kind of PowerEdge. But my university has similar virtual hosts/servers and it seems to work our great. Saves a lot of space in the racks.

Whatever happens, happens. Good Luck Chad. You and the other owners have done a great job so far. Being virtual will help, and the raid makes it super easy to allocate space or add more as needed. The poweredges are great servers. My office has a few R series as well (r210, r410), great machines.

If its a Linux based host I would think 2gb of ram would be enough, big thing with website hosting is drive speed, and I'm guessing the drives are SAS drives and in a raid10 they should have no problem handling the load. But there are still a lot of other variables that factor into it. Good luck Chad and hopefully the site isn't down too long

Sounds great. I usually suffer from slow loading speeds here but it was well worth it to visit this community.

Chad, you rock!
A minor suggestion - if you have an IP for the new server, perhaps post that publicly so we can still access it while DNS is populating?

Will all of the posts extant transfer or will we be starting over?

Thanks
I think once I get everything sync, I can do this for sure.
No Problem, as I was looking over things this afternoon, it looks as if that the timetable will be pushed off one day.
Scott,
The goal is to be using the new servers mySQL connection to add/change/delete records before I change the DNS and NS. So there should be no loss at all. I won't know this until later tonight, when I actually try to add a remote connect for the site to use.
As a note, it seems that we may have to wait one more day to "start" moving over. The migration team at the new host does not have things setup correctly yet. Once I confirm that, and the site works on the dedicated IP we can start the last phase in the migration.
Chad
p.s. man I cannot wait for this, just trying to submit this message I had to reload it.

OK
So, if my calculations are correct we are now using my new hosting database. So those nasty Database Errors should be gone now.
What this means is, when we do finally push over, the posts will be exactly the same as if we were on this host.
:thumb: This is good news folks.
Oh, and one more thing, this will not be the fastest until we are actually pointed to the new hosts files. Please be patient!
