Server Relocation and Upgrade – Charlie

Virtual Hosting Company, after receiving feedback from our Metro New York Data Center, has taken preemptive actions to relocate the Charlie Server used for some of our IRC Solutions. A recent notification by our Data Center has advised that there will be a physical relocation of hardware from the Metro New York Data Center to Buffalo, New York. This physical relocation would encompass between 12 and 24 hours of expected downtime.
In an effort to prevent this from impacting our customers, we took preemptive steps to bring a replacement server online in the Buffalo, New York, location. After notifying customers, we started the process of bringing a replacement server online, bringing our customer data over, updating the IP Address details associated with the customer data, and verifying the server was operational and ready to go.
This process has been completed, and the updated Charlie server, now running Debian Trixie (Debian 13), is online and operational.
