  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Question Transfer complete Server with plesk

Basic Pleskian
Hi guys,

I'm going to move from a provider in switzerland hosttech.ch to another provider located in Germany Alfahosting.

Reason for the move is pricing wich is very different outside of switzerland compared to germany.

My question is how can i provide a safe and secure transfer without any complications or loss of Data or without a fallout.

How can i do this the best way, that i can transfer all settings 1to1?

You can either create a backup and restore the full backup to the new server or your can use Plesk Migrator to migrate your accounts and websites.
 
@jonny_alex, are you moving the actual hardware or just moving the data from one rented server to another? If the latter, then the task is somewhat simpler and the main tools and procedures to look up are those that Peter mentioned.

In any case, plan ahead and make contingency plans for various scenarios. In my experience, one of the main critical points to look out for is the DNS. If you manage to keep the full control of the DNS at all the times, the move can be completed with virtually no service downtime. In ideal conditions, site owners and visitors don't need to notice anything.
