Server Upgrade from Windows to Linux

Hello,

I own a NFOSERVERS $12.50 VPS which i run my ESX Based server off of and recently i have been experiencing performance issues and hitch warnings. I think this is because my vps only has 1 cpu core and 1gb of ram.

I would like to know if i can upgrade my server from Windows Server 2012R2 to Ubuntu Server 18.04-LTS.

I have a massive database with over 50 people in the users file and lots of server files. Can i transfer my windows server files and my heidisql database onto the linux server? Will i need to change anything and will it run?

I’m thinking of getting this.


Would it work?

If this doesn’t work i will just upgrade my windows server 2012r2 server with a faster plan from nfoservers and i will somehow try and pay for it.

Thanks - Mart475.

Hello,

I just found this.

Would this be better than the linux vps, its cheaper and its on windows.

If this zaphosting one good?

You can move files and databases between linux and Windows without issue.

Would the windows vps from zaphosting be better than the linux one from nfo? It’s like $8 usd cheaper and zaphosting is an official fivem server provider. What should i get?

I don’t have personal experience with either company but I can tell you more cores/more memory should result in better performance.

When i get home than, i am going to be purchasing the zaphosting vps and i’l see if it runs better. If not i can refund probably. Thanks :slight_smile: I’l prob talk more in this post about my progress.

There’s only 1 thing i don’t know how to do. How do i transfer my database from one VPS to another? Do i need to like export the database somehow or?

I think i figured out how to export the database. I bought the new vps and so far the experience has been smooth. Waiting until i can connect to my VPS!

Currently moving all of my server files over, i wonder what my ping will be to my server. I live in Australia so i may have over 250. -_-

Just tried to launch my server and it works but the processor speed is terrible. I have 600 ping on the server and it is not responding. Is there a way to get a refund?

You’re asking the wrong people, Mart. You need to direct refund questions to your host(ZAP). They’re customer service should be able to help you out.
