Transferred Droplet to Different Account. Runs about 50% slower with identical specs.

Posted on February 17, 2020

I have been running a droplet for two years with zero issues. I recently created a snapshot and transferred it to a different DO account. I created a new droplet with the exact same specs and it is running must slower.

Are some servers just a lot slower than others? Should I delete the droplet and re-create it in the hopes it lands on a faster server?

Looking for any advice. Thanks.

Hello, @SwordSmith

Could you please elaborate more on the performance issue? Is it your application/site that runs slower or it’s just that the server is taking more than to execute your commands? Can you notice spikes in the memory and CPU usage or in the server load itself?

Let me know how it goes.

Regards, Alex
