Default Ghost VPS!!

Hello

This may looks like laughable question, but let me know when we purchase a second vps, is there a way that we can just Ghost the original vps. Obviously we would rename the web server and remove the duplicated domains, etc... but why?

I am trying to do this, but its pretty difficult for me to get some things working properly, because two servers are quite different from each other. Do you have any suggestions in this case scenario?

I think BODHost's support department could do this for you. Possibly for a service fee, but I am not sure. I know they can easily mirror servers, so why couldn't they just copy the one vps? Network transfers at their Data Center is quick, The only concern issue at bottleneck is hard disk speeds, but this is just form my point of view, technical expertise might think different.....

In terms of a VPS, I think yes, it can be possible. There is a way to clone each vps and then move it on the server, but cloning the vps when both server specifications are different, looks quite difficult task, because both server may using complex configuration.

Don't get me wrong, but you are trying to execute a bit complected thing. In my opinion, it would help if vps servers are installed in the same standard configuration.

I am unsure about the reason you are trying to achieve this but if you are looking forward to achieve 100% uptime, I would suggest you to consider a dedicated server mirroring solution. It involves 2 dedicated servers of the same specifications and if one server fails, the other takes over.
