Migrating Cpanel to Cpanel servers

[cgimickalo]

Hello,

we are planning on moving to a new server next month. It's been about 5yrs since our last move. I've been readling through some of the issues recently postings regarding transferring multiple accounts from old server to new server, both of which are using Cpanels which I assume have been addressed now. Are there any current issues we should be aware of when transferring multiple accounts to the new server or other issue to look for? We have about a dozen or so accounts to transfer.

Also does anyone know of a kind of summary, check list/todo list, to use when setting up the new Cpanel server before transferring the accounts to it ... sort of step by step list to do when setting up the new server?

thanks for any info or assistance,

Mike

Hello

The recent existing issues have been for transfers from other specific control panels. There are currently no known issues with cPanel to cPanel transfers. The transfer tools in Web Host Manager will migrate all of the necessary data, so the DNS is the only item that you must handle in addition to the transfer itself. Ensure you update your name servers for the domain names, or modify the name server IP addresses if you plan to keep the name servers the same.

Thank you.

Ok thank you, this is what I was looking for. Seem to be fairly easy then to do the transfer. We do plan to keep the same nameserver (DNS) I will just need to update the nameserver IP's for the new server then.

Thanks,

Mike

I been reading through the WHM docs on copying accounts, the thing I couldn't find is if it also transfer any MySQL databases associated with each account transferred. When you copy the accounts from the old server to the new server does also transfer the accounts MySQL databases also, if they are sent up, and the databases username & passwords or do I need to setup all those manually.

Unless you instruct it not to (or something goes wrong) the transfer account function will copy the entirety of the account including MySQL databases and their associated usernames and passwords.

Ok thank you for the info. I was pretty sure it did just wanted to double check.
