Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : Transferring Reseller Account between cPanel servers

[crystalz]

I have 2 cPanel servers with root access and I want to move a reseller account (and about 100 very small domain accounts under it) to the other server. What is the best way to do this and how would be the process ? I guess there is an easier way to migrate it rather than by moving individual domain accounts.

In Destination Server
WHM --> Transfer --> Copy multiple accounts from another server .

Or else , u'll require a small script to automate the tasks.

You can do this from your WHM --> Transfers --> Copy multiple accounts from another server
Give the IP of the server from which you want to copy.
If you have direct root login, check root against login user
Check password as authentication method and give the password.
Now click on fetch account list.
On next page, you will see all accounts in the remote server.
You can select your reseller account and all accounts under it and WHM will do the rest.


Any questions?

yea, for cpanel this is the best way. Simple and automatic for migrating. Let us know if you have any problems and we'll help you out.

Thanks for the replies. From cPanel's documentation, I see this:

"You may also want to set up a DNS cluster between the 2 servers when copying accounts so that DNS zone files are automatically updated and there is no down time for the sites being transferred"

Can anyone tell me how to setup a DNS cluster between the 2 servers ?

I do not need to change the nameservers of any of the domains as I am transferring the main reseller domain also. Just have to change the IPs of the nameserver at the domain registrar.
