The migration process mainly references this article - BandwagonHost VPS Data Migration Tutorial Using Snapshots (Snapshot Creation, Export, Import, Restore)

Assuming the original server is A, I exported a snapshot of server A and imported it on server B. The following changes need to be made on server B:

  • SSH login information

In my case, I needed to change server B’s SSH login port and password to match server A’s.

  • Domain binding information

Log into the Cloudflare admin panel, enter server A’s IP address in the DNS records search box, find all related DNS records, and change the original server A IP to server B’s IP.

  • Nezha Panel

After migration and changing all server A IPs to server B IPs in Cloudflare, checking the Nezha panel showed many servers as offline.

Servers showing offline on the panel

Through my own exploration, I found that simply restarting each Nezha panel client would display the client server status on the Nezha panel.

For Linux VPS, directly restart the client; for Windows VPS, directly restart the computer.

After restarting clients or computers, all servers are online on the panel

  • Proxy software X-UI panel

Mainly modifying the exit node machine’s IP.

I’ll add any other missed points after using it for a while. Overall, although BandwagonHost machines are expensive, their backup and snapshot features are quite useful.

Currently I have a BandwagonHost GT (entry-level), BandwagonHost CN2 GIA $74 plan, BandwagonHost The Plan V2, and BandwagonHost DC6 limited edition.

I plan to keep the BandwagonHost The Plan V2 and BandwagonHost DC6 limited edition, and won’t renew the other two, waiting for BandwagonHost to reclaim them.
