<h2>Already Running an Agent?</h2>
<p>If you have an existing AI agent setup — whether self-hosted on a VPS or with another provider — moving to Derez.ai is straightforward. Here's the migration playbook.</p>
<h2>Step 1: Spin Up Your Derez Instance</h2>
<p>Sign up and deploy a new agent via the dashboard. You'll get SSH credentials within seconds. This becomes your new home.</p>
<h2>Step 2: Transfer Config Files</h2>
<p>Use SCP or rsync to copy your agent config, skills, and any custom scripts from your old server to the new one. Your Derez instance is a standard Linux system — anything that ran on your old VPS will run here.</p>
<h2>Step 3: Migrate Data</h2>
<p>If your agent has a database or state files, copy them over the same way. The one-click backup system on Derez.ai will then take over — your first automatic backup happens within 24 hours.</p>
<h2>Step 4: Update DNS and Integrations</h2>
<p>Point any webhooks, API endpoints, or DNS records to your new agent's IP. Flush old configs. Test the pipeline: if your agent sent emails, send a test. If it posted to Slack, trigger a test post.</p>
<h2>Step 5: Decommission the Old Instance</h2>
<p>Once everything is verified working on Derez.ai, shut down your old server. You're now on managed infrastructure with automatic backups, a dashboard, and support. No more 3 AM server alerts.</p>
