OpenVZ end-of-life information
OpenVZ is no longer actively developed or maintained by either the vendor or the community. We understand that many customers still rely on their OpenVZ-based servers, which is why we have chosen to continue operating the platform during its final phase before end-of-life.
Limited support and functionality
As of January 1, 2024, OpenVZ is no longer supported by our support team. In addition, the platform now operates with limited functionality.
Please note that it is no longer possible to scale or upgrade server resources.
From this date onward, the following actions remain available for OpenVZ servers:
View servers and server properties (statistics and resource usage are no longer available)
Start server
Restart server
Shut down server
Open console
Delete server
Any data restored from backups will be restored to a KVM or VMware server instead of OpenVZ.
Because the future stability and compatibility of OpenVZ is uncertain, we strongly recommend migrating to our KVM or VMware platforms as soon as possible to reduce the risk of service disruption or data loss.
Migration offer
As a final migration incentive, we are offering two months free server cost when moving to a new KVM server.
Contact [email protected] to receive your migration promo code.
How do I migrate?
We recommend creating a new server on our KVM or VMware platform and manually migrating your applications and data using tools such as rsync.
This approach also gives you the opportunity to upgrade to a newer operating system while keeping your existing server online during the migration process.
IP address changes
Unfortunately, IP addresses cannot be moved between the VPS platforms.
If your applications or services depend heavily on a specific IP address, we may still be able to help you find a suitable solution. Please contact [email protected] to discuss available options.
How to identify an OpenVZ Server
Log in to Glesys Control Panel and review your server list.
Servers with an ID beginning with vz (for example, vz12345) are OpenVZ servers. Please include this server ID when contacting support.
VPS platforms – what’s the difference?
Glesys offers two VPS platforms: KVM and VMware.
KVM
