All our 5208 VPS were upgraded from 5108 so definitely a bit long in the tooth. ☹
One of the tasks I have set myself during COVID lockdown is to migrate them to 5209R.

I have a 5210R that I have been testing but still not entirely comfortable with going fully live yet. Moved some customer’s websites across onto it and all had issues so in the meantime sticking with 5209R.

The Easy Migrate script is brilliant and seems to work seamlessly, so easy enough to move to 5210R in due course.

Regards

Colin
