Moving Server / Dns
Mar 18, 2007
I am moving all my accounts from one server to another, i have cpanel/whm. Now the first question is whats the best and easiest way to transfer them? I have tried to use copy multiple account from whm and that works fine except that dns records are from old server, that is nameservers! Is there a way to transfer account but also update to new nameserver or i just have to use whm to transfer multiple account at once and then change zones one by one?
Another thing i came up is that i move accounts, leave the same dns as in old server and just change ips of those nameserver on domain to point to a new server namerserver ips?

I just moved from server to another new one all went well apart from one domain.
The domain has its own nameservers registered with godaddy the problem is, i can access the site normally only if I didnt put www with it
means I only can access if its [url]
Also, the emails associated with this domain name is not working, doing email trace through WHM results of getting that my emails are still going to the old server.
I did double check the DNS zone and everything cant find where's the issue,

I'm trying to move sites from one cPanel server to another. Presently, I am using the clustered DNS option in WHM to keep the two servers DNS in sync, which has allowed me to avoid messing with switching name servers for domains as I moved them. Now, I'm looking to turn off the original server, but that server is the one hosting the name servers that most of the domains use (ns1 and ns2.serverforest.com).
I'd like to move those name servers over to the new server, which I presume is as simple as re-registering them in the control panel over at my registrar. However, I presume I also need to bind IPs on the new server to the original DNS names. However, if I do that and the DNS cluster syncing occurs, won't that mess things up while I await the registrar making the changes? Do I need to turn off clustering before making the switch?
Is there a way to do this seamlessly?
Also, for testing purposes I created ns3 and ns4.serverforest.com on the new server. If I now want to move over ns1 and ns2, can I set them on the same two IPs that ns3 and ns4 "own" without any trouble?

We have a client who has a site currently hosted with some guys in germany. I cannot speak german, so am unable to chat to the support there, so thought I would ask here.
We are wanting to move their site to new hosts, as we are re-developing it for them, and their current setup does not suit our needs.
The only issue I am not too sure about is the following:
They rely heavily on their email (what company doesnt nowadays?), and they currently have IMAP acounts. They use thunderbird on a Mac for all their emails, so all their mail would presumably be on their machines.
No, if I moved their email accounts, would all the emails be deleted from their Thunderbird on their Macs? I know they wouldnt for POP, but I have only ever dealt with POP, nt IMAp.
If they will get deleted, what is the best way for me to handle this?

I have a drupal based site. The front page is about 200kb and I have 10 trimmed topics in front page. Currently the site is hosted on a shared server. My question is how many hits or page loads per hour/minute should I have before it would be necessary to switch to a dedicated server?
My host is hostgator.

I have to move my primary DNS server (on Win 2003) from one machine to another.
There aren't a ton of domains, but I'd rather not re-create the whole thing.
Anyone know of a tutorial out there to help me get through the process?

I want to migrate a customer from his current host to a new one. The website is the easy part, site migrations are not a problem for me.
The hard part is the email. I can re-create the account, but what about the messages stored in the old server? How do I move them? How do I get all the stuff and copy it into a shared account controlled by CPanel? I think the other server uses Plesk, which uses to be a pain in the ***.

I want to move files from old windows 2003 server to new Windows 2003 server, different machine. My problem is old windows 2003 server have a lot of NTFS permission setting for files and folders, it's very complex.
Q: How to copy these files and folders security ntfs setting to new windows 2003 machine? i guess it's not just compress files and extract to new machine.

I am moving my domain to my home server. I went to remove it from WHM and saw this option: Keep Dns Zone (needed if you have moved a domain between servers in the same dns trust relationship, and wish to remove the old domain).
I am running my own BIND server on my home pc.

I have my main domain (domain.com) and it is where all my sites and customer sites are pointed to (ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com).
I just purchased a VPS and have made (domain.com) my main domain as I want it to be because of keeping the nameservers the same for my clients.
My vision is this, I will transfer all the sites from my old cPanel account to my new DirectAdmin account. I have setup a time to let my clients know not to update any content on their sites. At that time I will then download the sites from the cPanel account to the DA account. I will then move my main domain (domain.com) over as well and then change the name server registries at namecheap.
I understand some things can get lost in this switch, but ALL clients are aware of this and understand. They will still have access to the old server via the IP address to check for misdirected mail.
Is this the simplest way to get this done?
Is there a better way, with using the main domain?

I have example.com as a reseller account hosted on a shared server. I have ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com on that server and client domains use these nameservers.
I want to move to a VPS for more control and so I have acquired vps.example.com. This also has vps_ns1.example.com and vps_ns2.example.com with it.
Can I move everything to the VPS? Assuming that I move the files over, if I simply changed the DNS of example.com to point to nameservers vps_ns1(and 2).example.com, what would happen?
Have I made it over complicated for me to understand, and it's actually a lot easier than I think? Or have I shot myself in the foot by using vps.example.com as the name for the VPS?
I am using cPanel/WHM for both servers.

I'm migrating some accounts to a new server. So the dns will also change with it.
I want to ensure no email is lost in the process. Here's how I plan on tackling it, and I'm hoping you can offer suggestions:
1. Create all mail accounts on the new server.
2. Each person who has an account does the following in their respective desktop email applications:
a. Create a new mail account and use the IP of the new server instead of the domain name.
b. After a few days, update the IP to the domain name, and delete the old mail account.
Will this ensure no email is lost?
One other question:
What about the case where one of the sites has data updated each day? How to properly move this to a new server, without getting the database out of sync?

We have 2 Servers:
Server A - this is a VPS
All webfiles/domains/dns/nameservers are confuigured on this server
Server B - this is a dedicated server
Only Databases are setup on this server.
Now we have planned to move from Server A to Server B to avoid/minimize server loads caused on Server A due to heavy traffic.
How should we begin ?
How can we minimize the downtime in migration. ?
How can we transfer our awstats logs from last 2 years to new server ?
We are mainly concerned about domains/dns setup where we have least knowledge these are only on Server A. We are also using custom nameservers and Servint nameservers for some domains respectively.

I've just migrated server to server but I didn't use the migration manager, I simply backed up each domain's content and restored those backups on the new server.
The issue I have run into is the scheduled tasks at the admin level (Tools & Settings > Scheduled Tasks) work but any schedule task under a domain do not. The scheduled tasks under the domains show as inactive (no green tick) and when I click to enable them, I get the following message
"Information: The scheduled task Google Product Feed Daily Scheduled Task was switched on."
If I then look at the page, even though the above message says it is, the scheduled task is still not enabled. Going into the scheduled task and switching it on there results in the same message, but it doesn't switch on.
How to rebuild all of the scheduled tasks within Plesk?
Currently Installed: v. 12.0.18

I've been on shared hosting for nigh on 3 years now. My site suddenly started growing rapidly recently and my shared host now has requested that I move onto a VPS or Dedicated as soon as possible (I would stay with them, but they don't have VPS options sadly)
My site is an image host, a dynamic image host too.
About 80% of my visits are from the US so I have decided, even though I am UK, that I need a US VPS.
I need it to be cheap, like $30 (To start with, while I gain funds) and generally reliable.
Would anyone know where such VPSs are? I would like 300MB or more RAM and about 5-10GB of disk space. My main issue right now is quality of customer service, I don't want to end up with a company that either has poor customer service or puts extreme restrictions on activity.
