How to Migrate Website + Emails from a Different Enhance v12 Server?

elcapitanph

Hi everyone,

I have a friend who wants to transfer their website and emails to my server. Both of us are using Enhance v12, but we are on different servers. I want to make sure the migration process is done correctly with minimal downtime.

What is the best method to transfer a website from one Enhance v12 server to another that is not in the same cluster?
How can I migrate email accounts and messages while keeping everything intact?
Are there any built-in tools in Enhance v12 for this, or do I need to manually transfer files, databases, and email data?

This early in v12, even if the tool was available, I think I would rather do it manually and know it was done correctly lol

Agree, I'd just do it manually personally for just a single site.
Email's just IMAPSYNC it across.

Downtime will be down to your DNS updating. Set the TTL to something low like 5 minutes a day or two in advance.

cosmoshosting There is no need for IMAPSYNC even, you can just copy the mailbox content from the server directly to the new one. I did that(for around 20 sites) and it worked perfectly.
