[Answered] Moving to a VPS

Hello,

I'm a Surpass Reseller customer for some time now. I'm thinking of buying a VPS from Surpass soon.

Currently, I pay around $25 to another host where I have the following:
2 reseller plans
2 IPs
1 WHMCS License

One of the IPs, x.x.x.209 is used with an SSL for my WHMCS order system which is also my nameserver 1.
The second IP, x.x.x.210 is used to host all accounts under my reseller.

The second reseller plan is for a friend.
Then I also pay $20 for a Slice from Slice host to host my personal blog. All this adds up to $45, so I'm willing to spend that extra $10 for a VPS with surpass.

Now, if I buy a VPS from surpass, can surpass set up the VPS in the following way ( Since I get 2 free IPs with it )

IP1 will be set up same as above with SSL and WHMCS.
IP2 will be set up same as above.
I want another IP to host my personal blog, since I want it to be accesible via IP too.
Also, can surpass move all accounts from my previous host to my VPS ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Regards,
Preshit

Updated Query

I run my business under the name example.com
I have 3 clients that have bought reseller accounts from me and there are over 60 clients with shared accounts.

Now, what would be the ideal setup of my VPS ?

1. Should I host example.com as the main site on my VPS and host shared accounts on example.com
AND
create the 3 reseller accounts on the VPS under example.com and give them to the clients ?

OR

2. Host example.net as the main site on the VPS. Create 4 reseller accounts under that, ( 3 for clients, 1 for example.com ) and then host shared accounts on example.com ?

I'm really confused. Help is appreciated.

Thanks

Sure! We can have the main IP setup with your WHM-CS and SSL (keep in mind we do not support WHM-CS so if there are any problems with the move, WHMCS may have to be contacted directly). Also, your second IP can also be setup as a secondary shared IP, so this should meet your requirements.

Yep, we can provide you another IP for $3/month. You will need to contact our Sales department via the help desk if you wish to order an additional IP.

As long as your previous host uses cPanel, we can do a cPanel-to-cPanel at no additional charge :-)

No hurries at all
I have 12 days before I'm billed at my current host, so I can easily set up the VPS in these days.

Thanks Thomas.
