1. Tutorial on migrating data center by bricklayers

The data center migration by Bricklayer is completely free, without any additional fees, and there is no limit on the number of times. As long as the traffic is sufficient, you can switch the data center location at will. For detailed data center migration tutorial by Bricklayer, please refer to: "Bricklayer Migration" Tutorial on migrating data centers: How to change the data center for free in VPS?

2. Traffic consumption of data center migration by bricklayers

Although it is free to move data centers and there is no limit on the number of times, each data center migration will consume a lot of traffic. This traffic will be added to the used traffic, and the more VPS data, the more traffic will be consumed. According to the actual test results, the traffic required for each data center migration is 4-8 times the size of the hard disk used by the VPS.

This is a Bricklayer VPS that uses 2.87GB. Before migrating the data center, it used 0.17GB of traffic:

After the data center migration was completed, 11.17GB of traffic was used, consuming 10GB of traffic, which was 4 times the size of the hard drive used by the VPS:

Another VPS with a 5.52GB hard drive used 0.59GB of traffic before migrating the data center:

After the data center migration was completed, 40.59GB of traffic was used, and 40GB of traffic was used during the migration process:

As can be seen from the above two examples, the data center migration function consumes a lot of traffic. Although there is no limit on the number of times, it needs to consume 40GB each time to complete the data center migration, which is 1000GB of traffic per month. It is only enough for 25 times, so it is recommended that you do not change data centers casually after choosing the data center that suits you best, otherwise the traffic may be used up very quickly.
