Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Dedicated Server : Transfer sites from reseller to dedicated

[Umaro]

I was wondering, what would be the best way to transfer about 9-10 sites i have hosted on a reseller account to my new dedicated server. All sites use 1-2 databases as well.

Is it possible to transfer the entire account? If not, I will just make new accounts on the dedicated and transfer the sites there.

I have never really moved a site that had a database such as a forum, any help would be great.

What controll panel is your server using ?

Im moving from hostgator reseller, they have cpanel / whm but apperently I need to contact them to transfer.

New server will be softlayer with cpanel/whm.

I think it can move easily. WHM has a function that will copy one or more account from other servers. Just try it !
If your sites are having a lot of data, then you should do other ways.
