You may occasionally see a task labeled "Live migrate" in your server's history. This is a standard procedure on the Tilaa platform.
What is a Live Migration?
Live migration is the process of moving your running VPS from one physical host server to another. This happens entirely in the background.
No Downtime: A live migration has zero impact on the availability of your server. Your websites and services remain online and accessible throughout the process.
Why do we do this?
We perform automated live migrations for two main reasons:
- Load Balancing: To evenly distribute the workload across our platform, ensuring optimal performance for all users.
- Maintenance: To empty a specific physical host so we can perform hardware upgrades or maintenance without interrupting your service.
Impact on Dashboard Tasks
While a migration is in progress, other management tasks in the dashboard (such as Reboot, Snapshot, or Resize) are temporarily unavailable.
Need to perform a task urgently?
If you need to manage your server immediately while a migration is running, you can manually cancel the migration task in the dashboard to regain control.
