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
Deploy in the new location
Order a VPS in the target facility from the EDBB Control Panel. Match the plan size so migrations stay simple.
Migrate data and services
Use snapshots, rsync, database dumps, or configuration management to move workloads from the original instance.
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.
