Why We Don’t “Move” an Existing VPS
Every EDBB VPS is tied to the hardware, storage, and IP blocks of a specific data center. Relocating it mid-life would break routing policy, compliance obligations, and physical storage assignments—so we treat a new location as a fresh deployment.
How to Change Regions the Right Way
1
Deploy in the new location
Order a VPS in the target facility from the EDBB VPS Portal. Match the plan size so migrations stay simple.
2
Migrate data and services
Use snapshots, rsync, database dumps, or configuration management to move workloads from the original instance.
3
Retire the old VPS
After validation, cancel the previous VPS to stop billing. Remember to update DNS, allow-lists, and monitoring endpoints with the new IP.
Tips Before You Provision
- Confirm latency with the EDBB latency dashboard or Looking Glass.
- Check regional compliance requirements (data residency, licensing) ahead of time.
- Plan for GeoIP propagation—most databases refresh within a few days of the new IP going live.
