I currently have a VPS based on virtuozzo with fedora core as my OS.
Now, i am getting a dedicated server.
how should i shift my server from the VPS to the dedicated?
My server Provider is asking for about 30 Usd for this service so i plan to try it myself.
full bziped tar file of the vps is about 450Mb.
Recently I changed server providers, so now I'm looking for a way to transfer all the data to my new server. I have a total of 420GBs of files in my secondary HDD that need to be transferred.
The old server is at a 10Mbps line, the new one is at a 100Mbps one. From old server, less than half the pipe is being actively used. So theoretically, I should be able to transfer it all in about a week.
I tried
1) SCP. That was waaay too unreliable. And I couldn't get it to restart from the point left on whenever the transfer stopped (like when the servers were restarted).
2) Transfer using a web script. Way too slow, got to about 35GBs, total would take like 2 months.
Is there any other, reliable way of transferring data from server to server?
I have about 800GB of data to transfer, both servers are using DirectAdmin.
If I am able to transfer at 10mbit, how long would that take for 800GB?
I suppose I need to install rsync on both servers.
How do I preserve directory structure, owner, permissions?
What is the exact command to type?
I have read another recently created thread about their woes but this is a separate issue so I figured it deserved a separate thread.
Here is my problem.
I am transferring my site, osrec.com from my old server to
Hostgator.
The old server is quite primitive and I am using this piece of crap:
Matrix Hosting Appliance Control Panel v2.0-33
I have hardly any control or options.
I am using Joomla 1.5....but my concern is that the MYSQL database will not be compatible.
I am also concerned about downtime...What if they transfer and it isn't compatible, am I then stuck with a site that won't function properly. Is there a way of transferring it to another domain hosted with Hostgator first?
Has anyone transferred a Joomla site over to Hostgator? have you any advice?
I know, a lot of questions and not really structured. Fact is, I have never experienced this before and so this is my first time facing it.
I'd contact Hostgator, but....ya know...their technical support is useless.
transfer an SSL certificate from our current server to our new one. They both run on Apache.
Is it just a case of transferring the SSL license key and cert over? What needs to be added in Apache's httpd.conf file?

I am having some issues here. I had a reseller account and decided to go to a dedicated box. My question is, what would be the easiest way to transfer all the account over.
I do not have root access on the resellers account so it is making it kind of difficult.
I did some research and found a way I think you can do but please correct me if I am wrong.
Can it be done by going under my dedicated roots access and clicking on the "transfer an account from another server using password"?
Also, Would I have to wait until all files are transfered to set my custom nameservers IP addy.

One of my sites is currently hosted on an IIS server. It has an SSL certificate that the host has setup and they've placed a .PFX file for that certificate in my root directory.
I would like to transfer that site to my new server that runs cPanel/WHM. What is the easiest way to go about doing this? Do I require the co-operation of my previous (IIS) host to do it, or can I do it on my own? And is there a simple way to do it since I have cPanel/WHM installed?

I currently have a domain at Network Solutions and I am going to transfer that domain to Godaddy. I also have 2 nameservers that I am running associated with that domain (ns1.mydomain.com & ns2.mydomain.com) that are also registered with Network Solutions.
My question is what happens to those nameservers when the transfer takes place? Will Network Solutions remove them from their database at that time? My concern is when the transfer happens there will be no nameservers registered at Godaddy and my sites will be down. Anyone know how that works?
I have agreed to update website A (with url A) on host A. Both are rubbish.
I would like to build the new site with host B for various reasons (essentially I want / need more than one 50Mb database).
If I build the new site B on host B under a temporary URL, I'll then need to transfer the domain from host A to host B. So my questions are:
How easy is it to transfer url A to host B and to point to site B? What will happen to the approx. 70 email addresses on host A? Will I have to manually recreate them at host B and any emails stored on the server will be lost?
is there any downtime when one transfers their domain name to another registrar? If so what is the approximate downtime?
If there is a downtime, is there anyway to avoid this?
I have 2 domains under the SAME vps, and just want to copy all the folders under one domain to the other. I don't want to download them and re-upload them as there are way too many. Is there an easy way to copy a select amount of folders in another way from one account to another? (I don't want to copy the entire account, just certain folders).
