Overview
This article explains how to move ALL users and domains from a Shared server to a VPS or Dedicated Server.
Moving a website user and domain to a new server does not affect email. Your email will continue to function normally.
Prerequisites
Ensure your new VPS has enough room to migrate your user's content. Check your Disk Usage page to confirm your users will fit on the new server. You can also click the View Disk Usage link under Other Active Services on the Manage Account page.
Migrating your sites and users
To transfer all of your account's users and websites:
- Navigate to the Servers page.
- To the right of your VPS or Dedicated server, click the Manage button to open the settings page.
- Under the Manage section, click the Transfer button (VPSs) or the Migrate button (Dedicated Servers).
- A popout titled 'Transfer ALL Users and Websites from Shared Hosting to PS###' appears.
The Transfer/Migrate button appears only if there are Shared Hosting plans on your account to transfer from.
Other hosting plans on your account will remain active after the move completes.
- In the popout, click the Transfer button to proceed.
Close Shared Hosting
The transfer of all users and domains can take some time, depending on the amount of data to be moved.
After the transfer completes, make sure you manually close any plan you no longer require to avoid being charged.
