If you have access to root then you can do it easily with the copy feature, or ask your host.

Hello Bob,

If both the servers are running the same version of Cpanel, it is easy to move the websites from one server to another. Cpanel/WHM does provide an option to do the same. But it is not always a foolproof way of doing things.

The best way to do it, is the hardest way to do it.

That is to move each site individually. You will need to replicate settings on the new server and move each site individually. You can ask your old host to zip/tar the websites and the new host can help you in getting those files and untarring/unzipping them for you at the new server.

Slowly and surely is the way to go while moving websites

Regards,

Putty is just a SSH client which is a secure version of Telnet. It will allow you to do command line stuff though. Here is the way that I would probably do it assuming that you have some kind of shell access.

Get a copy of putty and connect to your old site.
Dump the database for the site into the users directory;
mysqldump dbname -u user -ppassword > /home/..../username_date.sql
Once you have all of the databases dumped, then you can tar and gzip everything;
tar cvf - directory_name/ | gzip > username_date.tar.gz
FTP to the new site at the shell.
ftp sitename (or IP address)
enter username & password.
mput username_date.tar.gz
when that completes logout of the old site via putty and login to the new site via putty.
When you are in the new site, make sure that you move the file just sent to your /home directory.
type in tar -xvzf username_date.tar.gz. This will inflate your files. Once they are inflated, you can create your databases and upload everything.

You will have to setup users, move log files, httpd.conf and other files that are not in the user directory also. Probably the best way to go is to try moving one site first and then when you get all the kinks worked out, move the others.

cpanel will allow you to do this -- or you can go in to through ssh in the new site and grab the files off the other server.
