I do web design for small businesses and ran into issues on my vps server with inmotion hosting after a major upgrade of their servers. I think the tables need resetting or data needs to be restored.Thanks.
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
The description below is an email i received from inmotion before the upgrade. I have let them take care of the upgrade and have been running into issues with downtime, certains blocks, resource limitation and other errors. I need some to take a look at what is under the hood of my VPS and make sure each of the websites run correctly.
"We will be able to migrate you to a new VPS running the latest available operating system we offer, but before we begin we need to go over a few changes that will take place:
- The main IP address and hostname of your server will change. Any domains pointing to the main IP will undergo a period of propagation while the DNS information updates to point to the new server which may take 4-24 hours.
- Snapshots of your current VPS will NOT carry over.
- All dedicated IPs will be migrated over to the new server.
- If you are using custom nameservers, the glue records will need to be updated to match the IPs on the new server.
- The main PHP and MySQL/MariaDB versions the websites run on will be updated. Please confirm with your developer that there would not be an issue with newer versions of PHP and MySQL/MariaDB. Please keep in mind that newer operating systems may be limited on what PHP versions are available.
- Any modifications done to the server with root access or requested custom configurations will not carry over to the new server. If you need time to work through this with your developer, please let us know.
Thank you
