Best way to transfer account from one server to another?
What is the best (recommended) way to transfer accounts from one server to another? I would like to transfer everything (websites, e-mail accounts, dns zones, and keep all the passwords the same). Just like "push" account from one server to another and just update IP address (DNS record with a new server IP).
I am sure that there is a tutorial so feel free to direct me to it. Thank you.

We typically turn the live transfer off. We've never had an issue with the transfer tool. It's effectively doing a cPanel backup and restore, so everything comes over. On the rare instance we we do run into issues, it's because of MysQL differences or some other very custom code in sites. We don't run into issues with mainstream stuff like WordPress, Joomla etc. 0 -
It's worth noting for your situation that cPanel doesn't support Softaculous, so it won't move any data related to that configuration. But there are options in the tool to move your server settings, such as EasyApache, MySQL, PHP, etc. 0
