New VPS, new CP

ahhh...yes, im free from apollo. ehem

the awesome people at jagpc switched me to the new and fresh VPS server "nova" which for some reason runs about 100x faster than apollo...something must have been way screwed up on my vps (probably some hidden virus/hack by some retard)

anyway, im running interworx/centOS and couldnt be happier(blows WHM/cpanel away). id like to thank ryan, les, smith and anyone else who took care of my account. most hosts would of just ignored my request or try to charge hella bucks. but the tech people here...damn. money well spent, for those who havent signed on yet.

well i just had to post this, cause well, jag ownz

Jag does have the best tech support around. What other hosting company lets you really talk to the management and has a support forum where the management is actually around. Let's not forget the other awesome support agent.. Masood! I'm convinced he's a genius. =D

how was the transistion of accounts? I've been wanting to move away from cPanel as its a resourse hog, doesn't support Apache 2, and updates to software are sketchy at best. But it seems like it will require a full OS reinstall, etc...

Most other cp's such as direct admin and interworx have a built in migration tool that lets you transfer accounts from a cpanel server.

I've been transferred too from epsilon into draco

But I've always been using directadmin and it was really laggy in epsilon and I thought that was normal because I've already optimized it as much as I can.

After the transfer to draco, everything is fast and the load doesn't go greater than 2. Most of the time it's below 1. Hope it stays that way. Thanks to Ryan who emailed me and recommended the transfer and to the tech support and everyone in jag. More power!

well i didnt really have anything to transfer, so busy workin i havent made any sites....yet im paying for a vps all this time...LOL

but yes, it was a new OS install, new machine as well. centOS 3.6 (was on 3.5) apache 2 now also.

I changed from Cpanel to Interworx. I managed to get most of my accounts restored myself, just one or two done by support. But i liked how support gave me the option of letting them do everything, they said they would sort out the VPS, Restore the accounts all part of the small conversion charge which i thought was great considering i had the move completed in less than an hour or so.

I think interworx is just generally better, the speed is a lot better than cpanel ever used to be.

Do you retain all the IP's and DNS information in the automated move? I'm assuming that a new VPS would be set up in paralell and then a transfer would occur. All email, database etc... are moved over automatically if support does it. Is that right?

The biggest concern I have is IP's since my nameservers are tied to 2 on my plans and I've set up a few dedicated IP with SSL on them.
