An overview of the VPS migration process for Linux servers with different control panels.
To start the migration process, you need to submit a support ticket. It will help us gather essential details, such as the URL of your control panel or FTP host and login credentials for the source server. Once we receive the support ticket, our migration team will start working on it, and you will be notified once the migration is complete.
We can offer the migration service if your VPS is pre-configured with any control panel.
If you purchase the VPS Hosting with WHM/cPanel and have the same panel in your previous VPS Hosting, we can proceed with the cPanel-to-cPanel migration.
With our free migration service, you can migrate up to 10 cPanel accounts free of cost. For more than 10 accounts, you can proceed with our premium migration service.
If you purchase the VPS Hosting with Plesk Panel and have the same panel in your previous VPS, we can proceed with the Plesk-to-Plesk migration.
You need full server access with your current provider for the Plesk-to-Plesk migration.
With our free migration service, you can migrate up to 10 Plesk accounts free of cost. For more than 10 accounts, you can proceed with our premium migration service.
If you purchase a VPS with other control panels (including free control panels like ISPConfig, CWP, Ajenti, Webmin, etc.), we can offer the free migration service for up to two 2 hours. You can proceed with the premium migration service if the data migration requires more time.
The last step requires pointing the domain to AccuWeb Hosting's VPS. Customers can register the private name servers for their domains or use the nameservers from their domain registrar to update the DNS records. If needed, we can assist in this process. Any changes in the DNS records may take about 24 to 48 hours for propagation.
However, website transfers can take up to 5 business days; our highly skilled and efficient team can provide support with this process. The time required for migration may also depend on factors such as the size of the website, any limitations set by the previous host, connectivity, and other external variables.

The websites that change continuously and are dynamic in content (shopping sites, discussion forums, etc.) often require the site's placement into maintenance mode and careful scheduling to avoid data loss. Such websites that involve maintenance mode or scheduling of migration time are not eligible for the Free Migration and will need to proceed with the Premium Migration service.
