PLESK Upgrade and Migration

[Didierqis]

Hi All
we have one server based on Linux Linux 2.6.18-406.el5 with Plesk 9.5.4 and need to migrate to a new server with Plesk 12.x
How you think is the best way to migrate to the new server (first upgrading the Plesk version on old server ? or using the plesk migration Tools ?)
another question the new server can be based on Linux or Windows server ?
Thank you in advance for your answer

or using the plesk migration Tools

I would suggested you this way.

another question the new server can be based on Linux or Windows server ?

We do not support migration between platforms. Therefore it must be only Linux.

I's up to you. But note that Ubuntu Server 15.10 is not supported - http://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/12.5/software-requirements/#s2-1

@Didiergis,

I strongly suggest that you choose for the (user-friendly) Ubuntu Server.

However, always use a LTS version (Ubuntu Server 15.10 is not a LTS version), since the LTS version is the (stable) "Long Term Support" version.

In the case of Plesk version 12.0.18, one would choose best for an Ubuntu Server 14.04.3 LTS.

In the case of Plesk version 12.5.30, one would choose best for the Ubuntu Server 14.04.3 OR the 15.04 version.

In addition, to answer your question: "another question the new server can be based on Linux or Windows server?"

Yes, both the Linux and Windows servers are an option to run Plesk, but I would not advice Windows server at all: this will lead to multiple migration issues and additional migration hours.

In short, stick to the Linux platform, for many reasons (I have not discussed them all, but the migration issues are the most relevant).

Hope the above helps!

Regards....
