Correct. The MVPS product line should not have any downtime as part of this though so I wouldn't worry about scheduling around it.I gather then that we will have to do a migration from the East Coast Data Center to Atlanta. Perhaps then we plan that conversion in sync to the move the Direct Admin. Do you have an idea as to when the migration to Atlanta will happen.
I think I might have a bit of indigestion doing two migrations after the ones we just did. Something quirky usually comes up,Correct. The MVPS product line should not have any downtime as part of this though so I wouldn't worry about scheduling around it.
Baltimore to Atlanta migrations are slated to start in February 2020 and be completed by the end of March 2020.
OpenVZ (MVPS-*, VPS-*, etc.) will start in December and yes, that's when port speeds will double (on the shiny new network)When will the Dallas VPS Migrations to Atlanta occur? Is that the same time our port speeds will double?
That's up to you. There's no point in doing that as far as we are concerned - we'll handle all of the billing stuff behind the scenes and billing will just proceed as usual even though behind the scenes we'll be migrating you to a new VPS, etc. There's no extra charges involved either way.My next invoice comes Dec the 12th, should I wait until then to open my ticket?
Yep we'll transfer everything for you for free.change to DirectAdmin include the transfer-free all my account at new server?
with directAdmin can do instal/use mongodb?
Generally speaking no, it doesn't mean downtime. Most DNS changes these days can occur within a few hours, but it is true, that some DNS servers still take a day or two to update. One of the key differences in this migration style is that you will have both the old server, and new server online at the same time. The website can be served from both depending on what IP is served by the DNS server.If your recommended method of migration to DirectAdmin requires an IP address change, then aren't we going to have a downtime due to the 72 hours propagation period because of the new IP address?
As far as I'm aware Georgia is in the same boat as Texas in that regard. @KH-DanielP may have more insight.Last I checked Texas' taxing authority clarified that hosting does not create tax nexus within their state. Does GA or WA offer that same tax nexus clarification. If not, this move not only affects data storage, but also tax liability for all your customers.
This has the potential of being a deal breaker for us. It would stink, because I absolutely LOVE the services you all provide and would like to stick with you all during this transition, but I am not sure we are ready to be liable for tax collection in multiple taxing jurisdictions.

Meaning you will allow at least 72 hours before removing the old server at no additional cost from the start of the migration to DirectAdmin to ensure DNS propagation?One of the key differences in this migration style is that you will have both the old server, and new server online at the same time. The website can be served from both depending on what IP is served by the DNS server.
If you want to do 24 hours prior to your actual migration, you can do that. You'll be working with Billing who can initiate your migration request to Support whenever your ready. So, you would let them know you're interested in migrating. Advise them that you'll reply back in 24 hours when you're ready to begin, when you reply then they will initiate your request and only then that has happened will Support begin to perform any migration related work.I'm presuming that we will be given, say, 24 hours notice before the migration takes place in order to prepare the sites?
What about emails? I have some clients that use IMAP and others that use POP3 - will all emails be migrated as well?
For those who are migrating, we are providing an equivalent VPS for up to seven days to perform your migration too.Meaning you will allow at least 72 hours before removing the old server at no additional cost from the start of the migration to DirectAdmin to ensure DNS propagation?

We don't have any DA-based shared/reseller hosting yet but we're working on it!Hi Guys,
Just to clarify the obvious in I may
On my reseller hosting account I will not see a price increase because KnownHost are going to take the hit rather than passing it on?
If so,
1. Guys, impressive, much obliged.
And since you are supporting me, the least I can do is return the favour so.
2. Where do I sign to change to DirectAdmin so these venture capitalist a**w*p*s never see another cent from me?
I am far from a power user, but what's right is right.
