Hey,

I have NC15 running on a shared hosting account. But I’d like to migrate to a dedicated VPS as more and more users are added to the machine and I run out of space at my shared hosting contract.

Ideally I’d like to

1. setup the new NC on a place like [cloudtest.mysite.com](http://cloudtest.mysite.com)
2. Migrate all files, apps, settings, users etc. to the new instance
3. change the DNS so that [cloud.mysite.com](http://cloud.mysite.com) now points to the IP of the new server.

My main question is about step 2. What is the level of migration that NC will automate for me? Or do I have to manually set over files and export/import MYSQL databases?

Thnx for tips and ideas!

yes.  
take care that the instanceid: in config.php and the foldername appdata\_ are the same .
