## Why We Don't "Move" an Existing VPS

<Info>
  Every EDBB VPS is tied to the hardware, storage, and IP resources of a specific data center. Because of this, an existing VPS cannot simply be transferred to another location. Instead, changing locations requires provisioning a new VPS in the destination region.

## Free location change within 24 hours

Ordered your VPS in the wrong location? We may be able to help.

If your VPS was ordered within the last **24 hours**, you can request **one free location change**.

This option is useful if you:

* Selected the wrong location during checkout.
* Need lower latency from another region.
* Require your VPS to be deployed in a different geographic location.

When your request is approved:

* A new VPS is provisioned in the requested location.
* Your current plan and billing cycle remain unchanged.
* The original VPS is permanently removed after the relocation.
* No refund is issued as part of the relocation process.

### Eligibility Requirements

A free location change is available only if all of the following conditions are met:

* The request is submitted within **24 hours** of the original order.
* Only **one** free location change is permitted per VPS.
* Resources are available in the requested location.
* Additional IPv4 addresses are not automatically transferred and may require re-approval.
* The VPS has not been suspended or flagged for abuse, spam, fraud, or policy violations.

<Warning>
  A location change provisions a new VPS in the requested location. Your data, IP addresses, installed software, and configuration are **not** transferred automatically. Please create a full backup before requesting a relocation.
</Warning>

## After 24 Hours

Once the initial **24-hour** period has passed, VPS locations can no longer be changed.

If you need your VPS in another location:
