Transfering a VPS to another TransIP account

You can transfer a VPS from one TransIP account to another by means of an internal "Handover". This will move your entire VPS including IP addresses and hardware add ons (CPU cores and such) to another TransIP account. This process consists of two parts:

  • Initiating the transfer from the original account
  • Accepting the transfer from within the new account.

Some services cannot be transfered when using a handover for a VPS:

The services above are not transfered because they are considered seperate services that may also be used on other VPSs. For transfering a Big Storage disk, consult this article. For transfering a HA-IP, consult this article.

VPS-Firewall configuration in the control panel are also transfered.

Step 1

Log in to your control panel, navigate to the 'VPS' tab and click the name of your VPS on the left.
