moving servers to cloud

intermedia.net offers cloud VMs in a private network. i am looking to move my 4 on-premise VMs to the cloud. they have offered an option for me to upload the entire VMs. that will of course cause several days of downtime which i am trying to minimize.

they offer a site to site vpn option. i'm wondering if i setup a server there and a vpn connection, if i can make the server in the cloud i create a domain controller and let AD replicate. then i can move the other servers without having too many issues.

thoughts on this?

no worries, i'm interested in everyone's opinion.

the actual end users are not in the office and are located in various cities throughout the country. problem is when the power goes out (really bad storms) the systems go down. i'm trying to avoid that.
