Move multiple VPS hosted sites into one DEDICATED

[ACiD_CORE]

So well, i own few vps(s) with different ips and it is possible to move like 10 vps(s) into one dedicated server, but keep only one dedicated server ip to those vps(s) ?

I mean make own vps(s) on dedicated servers so i dont need to pay for those all 10 x vps(s) on different ips (also different locations), but i only will have one dedicated server for all of it.

OpenVZ can do this ?

you want to have them still splitted?
openVZ can do virtualisation,
but you will need one ip for each virtual machine.

If you want to use only one IP, you can't really do a virtualisation, since you won't be able to identify for which server your request is.
you can save some ips, if you make a VM availalbe for public and proxy the requests to the internal VMs. (But that's ugly)

You can setup the Dedicated server as a node and you can create 10 VPS(s) on that dedicated server. But you should use 10 IPs for 10 VPS because all VPS as act like different server. If you wish to use one IP for all websites then host your site in the Dedicated server without creating VPSs.

You can use only one IP for 10 VPS'es, but the result will be dodgy, since you need to setup different, uncommon ports for each VPS.
You should either create one VPS only or get 10 IP's for the dedicated server.

It depends on how important your sites, business and data are. Technically this can be done depending on what you are doing but is not recommended as the others have mentioned.

You could technically run as many OpenVZ instances on a single IP and re-route specific services to different ports while running NAT IPs on each VPS. But this won't work if all of them are running services like http, e-mail and need public access from the outside world.

The other issue is that you are creating a single point of failure, if your datacenter has any issues it means all of your sites go down and the same thing if you have hardware issues or a complete HDD/RAID failure.

If you must do this we normally recommend off-site backups, and to create your own Cluster for the VPS's between at least two physical dedicated servers (this ensures no hardware failure can take your VPS's down for more than a minute and no dataloss).

OpenVZ provides virtualization like for example KVM or XEN do. You can use any type of technology on your dedicated server.

When using a technology of virtualization you can launch any number of virtual machines on your server (if the server resources are enough) provided that the minimum of 1 IP is allocated to each VM.

You could also bring together all of your VM's content to one dedicated server without the technology of virtualization. Please, mind that the key thing you should pay your attention to before the migration, is the capacity of the server that will maintain the VM's.
