Migration from VPS to new VPS

DracoBlue

Has anyone already migrated a VPS: Control panel along with websites to a new VPS? How can I do it quickly and without issues? I bought a new VPS with better specs and would like to transfer everything to the new one. How can I do it?

Do you mean that your current VPS has both the control panel and the websites hosted on it?

If so, here's my suggestion:

Set up a temporary VPS and move the websites and email services there first. This way, your current VPS will only be running the control panel.

Next, set up your new VPS and follow the official documentation to migrate the control panel to it.

Once the control panel is fully migrated and working perfectly on the new VPS, you can then move the websites and email from the temporary VPS to the new one.

This approach helps minimize downtime and ensures everything is migrated cleanly.

adil Yes, exactly, it is a VPS server that hosts the control panel along with the websites.

DracoBlue According to official guide there's no way migrate cp role 'along with the websites', you have to move websites to another server temporarily and then move cp as per the guide and move websites back to cp server..

That's how we did it..

pratik_asabe The websites are a small problem, but how to transfer email accounts?

DracoBlue Those are also be the same as usual i guess because everything you have to remove before cp migration - application role, db role, dns role if any, email role, etc.

pratik_asabe It's sad that Enhance still has such terrible migration capabilities after such a long time. It seems that I will have to wait for the feature that allows downloading backups and importing them into a new cluster.

DracoBlue Yes, they are off track these days, I don't have confidence bringing new clients over to my cluster, im afraid its currently became a niche type of hosting product in which can only bring 'managed' clients and not cpanel/plesk or even DA users, they'll be pissed when they can't find even basic features they're used to use on daily basis (I'm gonna piss some users off at this point but tbh, idgf!)

@DracoBlue above @adil provided you the steps. It's very easy to migrate websites and email.. just a few clicks.. and you can do them all at the same time. Have you even done a test move of own website? It's so simple...

As for the Control Panel, that is a manual step.. but.. why do you run everything on one VPS? Ideally you want the control panel on its own server.
