How to size linodes?
But I don't know that for sure – I don't know how to compare a physical server with a linode.
One server has 1G of ram, and it's a 2.4 Ghz xeon. The physical server dips into the swap file, so we'd want a bigger one. But would a linode 2880 work?

I just wonder how easy / how long it takes to go from a 1440 to 2880, or back the other way.
So would that result in any downtime?

Ah ok interesting.

Yes, your linode needs to be shut down to do a migration. Another option would be to provision a 2880 as well, migrate the data and services across in whatever way you see fit, then remove the old one for a prorated refund.

Once the migration/upgrade is configured on our end, you'll get a link in your Linode Manager which allows you to choose the best time to perform the transfer.
Avg time within the same facility is 1-2 minutes per GB. Moving to a different data center is about 10 minutes per GB and requires a new IP.
