This instance has been migrated from a VMWare to a vStack server.

Previous configuration:
VMWare cloud, 1 GB RAM / 1 Core / 30 GB SSD memory / 10 Mbps
Cost: 13.94 €/month

New configuration:
vStack cloud, 1 GB RAM / 1 Core / 30 GB SSD memory / 50 Mbps
Cost: 4.55 €/month

The new configuration is cheaper, has a faster network connection, and it is easier to upgrade to more RAM and SSD memory as needed.

As of today only 19% of the SSD is occupied, and RAM usage is very low.

The migration was quite straight forward. Copying the volumes/ folder to the new server was enough to restore the instance.
