Talk:Dedicated Servers FAQ

Thanks for all the information on this page, but I hope I am not alone in wondering how easy it is to:
 * rollback to a PS in case the DS doesn't work out

The move to, from and off a VPS is automated as all files are transferred to the dedicated server. As far as any custom setups/changes that have been done to the VPS outside of the home directory will have to be moved over manually by the user.


 * how to test and configure the DS while the PS is still running before cutting over (I want to switch from apache to Nginx at the same time)

You can chose to add the dedicated server but not move your domains to the dedicated server. This will allow you to configure and test the dedicated server. You can add dreamhosters.com subdomains to test domains on the dedicated server.


 * how long is the old PS available?

The VPS is available for 7 days if you chose the 'Move all domains to the dedicated server' option, otherwise the VPS is active until it canceled after adding a dedicated server.


 * I assume there are no scripts to translate apache config to nginx config?

Unfortunately, there are no scripts available to do that if you are using a custom config of apache and are trying to switch to nginx.
