What happens if you are using one type of control panel, such as Webmin, Plesk, or Cpanel3 and then want to change over to another?

In other words, if you are hosting dozens of sites and then want to change. What inconveniences would there be to the hosted clients? Or, are you pretty much stuck with it?

Seasons Greetings!

Hi Ron,

Once you start out with a system, you're pretty much stuck with that for the duration. Switching between control panel systems is very challenging, as they all use different configurations and software. You may be able to do it, but it will never be a seamless transfer.

Best bet in this case would be to get another server and then move the clients off serverA to new serverB. Like Matt said, not seamless. They'll be freaked out. Make sure it is an improvement and not a step down.
