Bringing a SandboxVPS to production

A SandboxVPS is an ideal tool to develop and test your brilliant idea for a competative price. A point will come where your ready to bring your project into production. This can be done at any time by simply upgrading to a BladeVPS or PerformanceVPS using one of two options:

In this tutorial, we demonstrate the steps using the 'to production' button to upgrade a SandboxVPS to a BladeVPS or PerformanceVPS.

  • A SandboxVPS with an active VPS lock cannot be cloned.
  • VPS Firewall settings are copied automatically.
  • Does the original VPS have a Big Storage attached? Frst remove the line in /etc/fstab before cloning the VPS, or your clone will fail to start.
  • You cannot clone to a smaller VPS.
  • If you configured the IP addresses on your VPS statically, you will not be able to use the network-connectivity of the new VPS yet as it will also copy the network-configuration. Because you can not use the original IP addresses, you need to first manually alter the network-settings and configure the IP address(es), to allocate the new IP addresses and remove the existing ones from the new VPS. In this article you'll find an instruction for configuring static IP's in Linux and in this article for Windows.
  • This process has no impact on services on the old VPS, such as Big Storage. It'll remain attached and usable.
  • It is strongly recommended to disable the VPS before you create a Snapshot. This prevents that data which was still stored in the RAM and data that is still written during the snapshot is not included in the snapshot (with possible corruption as a result).

Het kan, afhankelijk van de grootte van de originele VPS, enige tijd duren voordat de nieuwe VPS volledig te gebruiken is. Wel zal de 'nieuwe' VPS al vrijwel direct na de bestelling in het overzicht van je VPSen zichtbaar zijn.

De oorspronkelijke SandboxVPS wordt niet automatisch opgezegd.


 

Stap 7

Na het opleveren van je nieuwe VPS, is het belangrijk daarop de netwerkconfiguratie aan te passen: een SandboxVPS maakt gebruik van IPv6, maar een BladeVPS en PerformanceVPS komt met zowel IPv4 als IPv6. In deze handleiding laten we zien hoe je statisch IPv4- en IPv6-adressen instelt op verschillende Linux-besturingssystemen en hier voor Windows Servers.


 

Daarmee zijn we aan het eind gekomen van deze handleiding over het omzetten van een SandboxVPS naar BladeVPS of PerformanceVPS.
