How much space is needed when transferring a domain to a new server?

Question

When using the Transfer Tool to move accounts from one WHM server to another, is there a general amount of space recommended to have available?

Answer

Yes, but it is a general rule of thumb.

When transferring accounts to a new server, we recommend having the following amount of space available:

2x the biggest account + 1 GB

We would encourage you to have more space if possible, but this is our general guideline.
