Migrating to a new server

[Nomad]

Have you ever migrated to a new server? What was your experience like? Was it smooth or was it troublesome? Did you encounter any issues, what kind of issues did you encounter? How long was your website down before it was up during the migration process? Did you do it yourself or hired someone to do it for you? Well, I have not done for my website but I have done for my clients.

I didn’t have any downtime when I migrated to my new server, but I did put my forum under maintenance while I was backing up all the files and database.

It was a smooth process though. I had my new host transfer everything over via Cpanel.

transfer everything over via Cpanel.

This is something I want to learn, I have not been able to transfer website directly through Cpanel through remote transfer option. I always move database manually.

You can also do it via the cpmove command, which is via ssh(shell).

Migration to new servers is something that l have never done before. That is because l really have no websites for now for the truth of the matter.

I have not migrated to a new server. I don't think it should be a difficult process though.

I have been a user on a certain website that took so longer to migrate to another user.

You can do it during the morning or at night as long as you transfer everything from cpanel to cpanel. There won’t be any downtime.
