I am moving my accounts soon from my VPS which I have root access to and was wondering if anyone could tell me what I need to do, to the DNS.
As last time I did this I had to edit the DNS Zone, by editting one of the following: refresh , retry , expire , minimum ttl but can not remember which one or to what.
Then I changed the IP address to the new server.
i have a dedicated server. Centos 5.3 /Cpanel
2 reseller accounts on it: acc1 and acc2.
acc1 has ns1.domain.tld and ns2.domain.tl nameservers set up
acc2 has ns3.domain.tld and ns4.domain.tl nameservers set up
now i want to move an account (customer.tld) from acc2 to acc1 without downtime.
how can i do this provided i can not have customer.tld both on acc1 and acc2 on the same server?
here's what i did:
1. changed customer.tld nameservers to have ns1.domain.tld, ns2.domain.tld, ns3.domain.tld, ns4.domain.tld then waited for 48 hours for the changes to propagate
2. changed the customer.tld owner in WHM from acc2 to acc1
3. changed the cpanel package from acc2_package ti acc1_package
4. changed the IP in WHM for the account from ns3 IP to ns1 IP
5. changed the DNS entries in WHM ns3 changed to ns1 on all instances found there
but i still have a downtime period now. everything looks fine in httpd.conf thou
When you move accounts from one WHM/CPANEL on one VPS to anoter CPANEL with another VPS, will it transfer the whole thing including MySQL as well?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an account with a shared web host and I use that account to host 9 website under 9 different domains. All the domains are hosted as add-on domains under that single shared cpanel account. Now I would like to do a WHM account transfer from the shared hosting to my own VPS server. But I want all my domains to have its own private cpanel accounts.
Is this possible with the WHM automated account transfer feature? or do I have to create cpanel accounts for each domains in my VPS and upload the files manually?
I have hosting accounts on a WHM/Cpanel account with MySQL databases for my sites. Now I need to move the sites to another server.
how to do this without messing upt my database and data?
Any link to Documentation will be a great plus.
What is the best way to move Frontpage accounts from one server (non-cp) to another (Cpanel or Plesk)?
I understand that using FTP may corrupt the FP server extensions; is rsync an option, or should the client always upload files to the new server from their FP software?
Is there any way to connect to a new server account (using FP) via the IP; before pointing the domain to the new server?
how to move all existing e-mail accounts including passwords, current e-mails on the server etc from one server to another (both running Exim)? No control panel.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe recently moved all our hosting accounts from our servers to new servers with a new host. In the process of this move, after moving all the domains and setting the nameserver ips to the new ips, none of the sites are pulling up. I changed the ip for all nameservers to the ones provided to me by the new host but we cannot figure out why the sites are not pulling up, he says everything on his end is fine? Talking about 100+ clients who have been down for over a day now after changing the nameservers and cannot figure out whats going on. All we did was set the ips on my current nameservers to the new ips below.
Now they are claiming they can bring the sites up, but none of the clients I have talked to can bring them up. Also I cannot bring up any domains or ping them from my home or work.
Example domains that are not working that were moved:
bluetongueskinks.net
pokemongamesnow.com
The 204.16.247.150/~username works fine.
See 204.16.247.150/~pokemon
The accounts transferred over fine in WHM. We were using a dns redirect in WHM on the old server before changing nameservers to make sure it pulled them all up fine.
ips for the nameservers 204.16.247.150 and 204.16.244.150.
Just wondering the many different types of ways to do this..
I been trying to do it via cPanel, but it seems my Reseller for my old site, has disallowed ssh for me.
Just wondering ,if its possible to do with ssh, or any other way!
thanks so much
i have stopped hosting selling and am only hosting 2 sites for clients that I have designed sites for.
if i got a vps with lxadmin, would these clients be able to have their own individual free control panels and also would I be able to transfer their entire site, inc. mailboxes and MySQL Databases?
I've finally decided to move from relying on cPanel so much to managing php/mysql/apache on my own, but I have a problem... I host a few people on my server ... Not a lot, but enough to justify some type of cPanel-ish system for their domains. Is there anything free that allows them to manage their emails, FTP accounts, database, etc. while allowing me to manage the server's software? Something that lets me manage the vhosts easily would be great too, but not required.
Since I'm moving off of cPanel, and from CentOS->Debian as a result, I'm going to just buy a new server - however I'm not sure if I want to stick with SoftLayer. They're an amazing company, have great support, great hardware, I've never experienced ANY downtime with them... But I'm paying a bit of a premium - are there any alternatives with the same quality level but a bit cheaper? Even $5-10 cheaper would be fine. I'm looking to switch to a server that's a dualcore, 2gb ram, and at least 1.5tB of bandwidth - I'd rather not pay more than $155/month for that but I'm willing to go up to $200/month (Assuming the hardware and bandwidth scale).
It'd be GREAT if I could get the hardware I listed with a 10mbit unmetered for under $240/month... But, how realistic is that? Softlayer's 10mbit unmetered is $100/month.
I'd also love to be able to build my own server and colo it somewhere, but... So far all the prices I've found don't pay off until you're paying $6-700/month, so that's not looking too good - especially if I have to spend another $4-500 on the server itself.
Is there a way to move one's site from a cpanel server when the current host is blocking the transfer and the cpanel back up does not work?

How can I import all of those pictures into, say Coppermine or 4images or the like, without having to do each one manually?
I have several sites under a cPanel/WHM reseller account. I want to move the biggest site under this account to another host. This site is the main site for the reseller account. The user name associated with it is my account name with the host, and all the other sites on that account are shown in WHM to be owned by it.
After I have the site running on the new host, I want to delete it from the old one. How can I do this whilst still retaining access to WHM which is only accessible through the cPanel of this site?
how do you move a site from a reseller account to a VPS if I do not know the site password. I believe the user changed the Cpanel password.
