Need help as how to shift large website

Seeking for help how to shift large website from cpanel to cpanel including database, emails and root folder files. Its about 8gb data

 

Here you go... http://docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/AllDocumentation/CpanelDocs/BackupWizard

full backup and use FTP to go server to server

hope that helps,

well cpanel does have a good backup module, but at that size, you are going to need help from the hosting company. I would think either side might stop the transfer of data since it's that large.

 

Hello there,

Do you have SSH access on both servers?

You cannot use a full backup to restore your site via the cPanel interface. The file must be downloaded and decompressed prior to restoration. Once the file has been decompressed, you will be able to upload and restore individual pieces of your website contained within the full backup.

 

Do not have ssh,i need to do backup of 7gb of emails which is challenging. as it needs to b done in weekends only, finding way out to sort this real quick.

 

Hello there,

I think the best option is to create a full cPanel backup (as mentioned prior) on your current server, then move that backup to a web accessible folder (public_html). Let your new host know where it is, they can download it directly to the server your site is on, and then restore it from there. Any decent host should be helping you with moving your site.

noone said that he could. However, the admin at the new hosting company can restore this for him via the whm interface.

To make it easy for the hosting company, upload the backup file to your new account. Using the cpanel built in ftp backup uption can save it direct to your new host, they can then easily restore it. I prefer this method over having the host "grab" it via the whm interface.

8gb is not something I have worked with, but I have had no issues with sites that were 5gb using this method.

 

since its large,you need to contact the host company bro,they will do that for you

 

Steps given below for manual transfer
1) Creating a temporary directory using the mkdir command
mkdir /home/user-temp
2) Creating a compressed backup of public_html
tar cvzf /home/user-temp/user-backup.tar.gz /home/user/public_html
3) Creating compressed backups of logs
tar -cvzf /home/user-temp/user-logs.tar.gz /usr/local/apache/domlogs/example.com
mv /usr/local/apache/domlogs/example.com /home/user-temp/
4) Manually transferring the compressed backups using the scp command
scp -r /home/user-temp/user-logs.tar.gz :/home/temp/
scp -r /home/user-temp/user-backup.tar.gz :/home/temp/
5) Extracting the compressed backups
tar -xvzf /home/temp/user-backup.tar.gz /home/user/
tar -xvzf /home/temp/user-logs.tar.gz /usr/local/apache/domlogs/
Once you have completed the transfer and restored the backups you have created, you should have successfully moved the account.
