How to migrate a live cPanel Server with least down time ?.
Comments
To another cpanel server ?
Use their migration tools, do a bulk migration and chose the options for express migration, so that it updates DNS .... that's assuming your using cpanel dns.
Use cpmove to migrate accounts and then change IP of servers
Update 2nd NS to new ip 24 hour in advance, Finish migration, shut off the old server or ADD a record on your old DNS zone and point it to new server.
/scripts/pkgacct --skip-homedir [username]
scp the file over
/scripts/restorepkg [username]
rsync the home directories over
change A record
Server host about 250 websites.
Its Cpanel to Cpanel Migration.
Some Sites Have Dedicated ip's
So which one is better ?.
@adarshv are they all using your nameserver?
It's all in whm. Crazy easy. If the sites are updated a lot by users you may have some issues if you migrate everything before they propagate.
+1 but don't forget
scp the file over
/scripts/restorepkg [username]
rsync the home directories over
change A record
And
Be sure to save all above
ADD: Save all /etc and download it.

@Andre
Make a full backup from cpanel and send it to the host
or
Give your old details to your new host and get them to do it from whm
