Moving a site to a other plesk box

[eleblanc]

How shouild i go doing this?

Backupo and restore seems to work fine. But what would be the proper method to redirect incoming client that doesn't have dns updated yet? So that i don't end up with two site running?

header("Location: http://mynewip/domain.com");
?>

I see,

i was thinking more of a dns redirection?

I used to redirect to new IP in the dnsmgmt but this didn't seemed to work with the server running plesk.

but i'll try your method thanks

well it won't work if the ip is cached in their ISPs name servers and name servers from there to the root. I thought your question was what to do for those a dns redirection didnt work. you should do both
