Changing hosting providers doesn’t have to be a big headache. I just moved my domains from one hosting company to another with just about zero downtime. I left the old server running after setting up the new one and waited for the domain name to redirect to the new ip address.

The old server was underpowered anyway. But what I will miss is the uptime.

01:59:41 up 680 days, 11:13, 3 users load average: 0.01, 0.02, 0.00

1	01:59:41 up 680 days, 11:13,  3 users  load average: 0.01, 0.02, 0.00

Welcome to the new server, uptime less than a day… We’ll have a party if this one ever gets past 680 days.
