# Change VPS Location

> How to migrate your VPS to a different server location using the client area.

You can migrate your VPS to a different server location at any time from the client area. This is useful if your broker changes their server location or if you switch to a broker hosted in a different region.

<Note>
  Your service includes **one free migration every 30 days**. Additional migrations within that period are subject to a \$10 administration fee.
</Note>

## How To Migrate

    Log in to the [client area](https://newyorkcityservers.com/billing) and navigate to your VPS service. Under **Access & Control**, click **Change VPS Location**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select New Location">

    The form will display your current server location. Under **Step 1**, select the new location you would like to migrate to. Available locations include:

    * New York
    * London
    * Dublin
    * Tokyo
    * Singapore
    * Hong Kong

    Your current location will be labeled with a **Current** badge.

    In **Step 3**, choose when you would like the migration to take place:

    * **Weekend Migration** (recommended) — your VPS will be migrated during the weekend while trading markets are closed
    * **ASAP Migration** — the migration process will start as soon as possible, usually within a few hours
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review Required Confirmations">
    In **Step 4**, review and check all required confirmations before submitting:

    * **Shutdown Authorization** — your VPS and any running software will be shut down during the migration
    * **Downtime Acknowledgment** — your VPS will be offline during the migration process
    * **IP Address Change** — your VPS IP address will change after the migration
    * **Migration Allowance** — one free migration is included every 30 days; additional migrations are subject to a \$10 fee
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit Migration Request">
    Click **Submit Migration Request** to confirm. You will see a confirmation page showing the status of your migration.

    You can track the progress of your migration on this page. The status will update from **Submitted** to **In Progress** to **Completed**. You can also cancel the migration from this page if needed.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## After Migration

* You will receive an **email notification** when the migration starts and another when it is completed
* Your VPS **username and password will not change** — only the IP address will be different
* Update your remote desktop connection with the **new IP address** provided in the completion email
