Hi, I need to transfer all the accounts of a cPanel server to a new server. The server has about 250 accounts and 325gb worth of data. The servers should have a local connection (connected to same switch/router) and with at least a 1gbit connection (probably more). Both servers CPU is a e3-1270v2. There is a quite big proportion of domains using external name servers. As a result thereof, if it is possible, it would be best to retain the main IP of the server. I have been looking at the this guide (

  Hello, 1. The domain names will not resolve to the new server until you update the name server IP addresses at the domain registrar (assuming you do not use the express transfer option). 2. It depends on the network speed and hardware used on each server. You may want to transfer a few accounts as a test to see how long it takes. 3. You will see test under these options that advise you how many threads to use. EX: Because your system has 1.08 GB of available memory and 1 CPU, you should use no more than 1 transfer thread to avoid severe performance degradation. 4. Yes, this guide is still suitable. 5. The SSL certificates should copy over, but you should still use the install option to enable SSL on the accounts post-migration. 6. There's no support for this type of transfer, but you are welcome to do so manually if you prefer. It's likely difficult because you have to account for not just changes to files, but also changes to databases. Thank you.
