A three-step cutover
- Create the LikeVPS server in United States first so the new IP is ready before DNS changes.
- Move data with rsync or a restic backup — custom ISO boot is available if you need an exact OS match.
- Lower the DNS TTL to 300 seconds a day ahead, cut over, then keep ScalaHosting running for a week as a fallback.
