A three-step cutover
- Create the is*hosting server in Finland first so the new IP is ready before DNS changes.
- Move data with rsync or a restic backup; is*hosting gives you no snapshot or ISO path in what we read, so test the restore.
- Lower the DNS TTL to 300 seconds a day ahead, cut over, then keep UpCloud running for a week as a fallback.
