Secaucus. I keep about thirty client sites running.

Congratulations on the successful migration. I remember the challenges of legacy infrastructure maintenance from when I used to work support at a host years back.

Common scenarios encountered:

  • CentOS 5/6 end-of-life systems
  • Custom kernel modules without source
  • Proprietary billing software tied to PHP 5.x

Best practices for future client onboarding include documented sunset clauses and quarterly architecture reviews.

Route via legacy PHP adds 12ms minimum. Traceroute to typical InterServer shared node:

1  192.168.1.1    0.5ms
4  interserver.net  34ms
7  interserver.net  89ms  !H

Packet loss at final hop. Not routing issue, server simply absent. Ping table shows 0% reachability since migration window.

1ms or I don't want it
