HolyHosting Load Balancing

🧵 Why was my server migrated?

Was it a manual decision or automatic?

Sometimes we migrate servers to a new node at the client’s request, especially to improve latency (ping) for all players. However, most migrations are handled automatically by our intelligent load balancing system. This system monitors each node’s performance in real time and, if it detects that one might soon become overloaded, it moves the server(s) to the least congested node available within the same location.

Will I lose anything during the migration?

No, you won’t lose anything. Migrations are performed when no players are connected, and all your server configurations—files, plugins, worlds, and settings—remain exactly the same. The only change is the physical node, which can even improve performance without affecting the general operation of your server.

Will this happen often?

Our system is designed to prevent frequent migrations; it only triggers when necessary. In most cases, your server will remain stable on the new node for a long time. And if you experience any issues after a migration, you can reach out by opening a ticket—we’ll be happy to assist you.
