If your apps load slowly from where you live, move to a closer datacenter. Open My Account on the ElfHosted store, then Datacenter. Under All datacenters, click "Test all & recommend fastest": the datacenter speed test measures each one and marks the quickest as recommended, for faster app loading. Before you migrate datacenters, read the "Move to a different datacenter" box: your apps are turned off in the current datacenter and recreated in the new one, restored from your latest backup, with about 10 to 15 minutes of downtime. Tick both boxes: apps are backed up offsite every 24 hours, so run Global Commands, Backup Offsite in ElfBot if you've changed things since, and export all environment variables there too. The recommended datacenter is preselected as the target: click "Move my apps" and confirm. Afterwards your app addresses end in the new domain, so update any links you've saved, and import your environment variables in ElfBot. You can move back at any time: within 7 days your apps come back exactly as they were. The full steps for an ElfHosted datacenter move are in the docs. Nervous about the move? Talk to a person first: the ElfHosted team is on Discord around the clock, across time zones, in a family-friendly, carefully moderated server.
