I want to change my server

Hello friends......
I am having a reseller acoount...and currently I am hosting around 25 websites.But I want to change my server.I want to shift to another reseller account.

I have WHM panel. How should I take full backup of all my hosted site..and others..so that none my site get affected and face any downtime.

Thanks in advance.

 

anybody..plz help me...

 

Poor WHM doesn't have a full account backup and restore tool for resellers.
You can ask your hosts to make full backups for you.

 

can you plz guide me..essential steps to shift to another reseller account with all my hosted site.

 

^^^^^^^^^But info at this link is not sufficient.

ok..I think I may get zero downtime..if I keep both server (old and new)up till DNS is updated.

I will keep my old nameserver..and just change its IP in my domain control panel.

And between, I should create all existing account on new server......


Plz help me...how should I move all my exicting account to new server...I mean how should I move their file.

 

you cannot do all together with root access , goto cpanel , make full backkups on all accounts move that file and restore it on new server .

 

You might have problems if you have databases that are constantly being updated like a forum.

 

I have small confusion.....If I download a full backup in my cpanel..will it also contain backup of mine hosted sites???

 

no it will contain backup of the site you are backing up , there is no such facility in cpanel to do all sites at once ,

 

Thats right - if you are moving any sites with databases, close those sites before you start moving or else you will be using content during the DNS update since some visitors will be posting on the old database and some posting on the new one

Server move is always a headache but once it's done you take a breath and experience some better performance (if you are upgrading to a better hardware)

and btw, inform your clients about that move so they don't panic

Good luck with your move

 

Thanks for suggestion.Actually I havent find my new host company.I am searching a good one.I am unhappy with my current host, because they dont give complete privacy and good support.Rest are alright with my current host.

 

I would check out pacificrack.com. For about 90.00 per month you can have a full dedicated server. Maybe even less.

 

thanks all..Now I have moved to another server with zero downtime.

My new host..did everything for me.

 

who is your new host if you don't mind me asking?
