Transfer/copy account to different server for dev purposes
I am trying to work this out in my head and want to make sure I am not missing anything.
I need to take xyz.com and copy the whole account to a different server to turn it into a dev environment. We also own xyz.net which is not being used. If I used the transfer tool to copy xyz.com over to the dev server while disabling the live transfer function then would I just add the xyz.net domain to the account in the cpanel of the dev server and point the DNS for he xyz.net over to that dev server?
Am I missing anything here? I don't think there are any risks to doing it this way are there?

It depends if the new and old server are part of the same DNS cluster. If so, when you transfer xyz.com from old server to new server it's going to update the cluster when the restore finishes (even if you do not use live transfer). If they are not cluster, you should be OK.
