Spin up a new one, transfer your data, spin down the old one?

I've tried, like when I needed a bigger server but everything was sold-out, so I asked to customer services if they can apply the new price for my old server, they refused, after this I waited for a 7 months for the new servers begin available again, and then in dec/2013 they also discontinued the "new" servers without anything else in place and I cancelled my account.
Yep. You can also keep the same IP address and just repoint it at the new server, so absolutely no downtime.
