We hope you understand that such maintenances are necessary to help AWDHPL continue to provide optimal performance and best service for you. In most situations, you shouldn't even notice an interruption of service. We hope to have all sites moved to the new server during this time period. We are going to be moving sites to the new server during our maintenance period on, and ending on. Site5 admins are also available to help you in any way possible. Everything appears to be working OK, the new IP appears in WHM as the default IP. If you need help making this change, your DNS provider should be able to make the change for you or assist you further. I have installed cPanel on a new server and after the installation the broadcast IP of the server was changed. Instead, when the migration is complete and you receive the e-mail with your new IP address, you would need to manually modify your DNS zone at your DNS provider. Some of our customers choose to use third party name servers, which is fine, but it means that we will not have access to make the necessary DNS changes automatically. Once your migration is complete, the name servers will need to be updated in order to point to the new server. This will ensure that you are connecting to the new server instead of the old one.

#CPANEL WHM SERVERS GETTING OLD IP UPDATE#
If you are connecting directly to the IP address or hostname (e-mail, ftp, etc.) it is very important that you immediately update those settings in your e-mail or FTP client to the new IP or hostname. Then use 'Change Sites IP Address' to assign the new IP (only one IP is possible). Once your migration is complete, as explained above, you will receive an e-mail with your new IP address and server name. If you have access to the WHM then you can just create a new account (using the equally named menu in the WHM) and enter as domain. This process can take anywhere from a few seconds to several hours depending on the total disk usage on your account. Once the account is configured we then begin transferring the bulk of the account data - your website files (home directory), e-mail data, and your MySQL databases. When a site is migrated, we first gather all of the necessary account information and settings and transfer those over to the new server. Now with this new AWS way, there's no info in the tutorials about how I obtain new IP Addresses. Once assigned, I can access the site with either the IP or the domain name. We are migrating all websites using a combination of the cPanel restoration tools. When I created a new account on my dedicated WHM, I was provided IP Addresses from the server farm that I assigned to newly created accounts. The new servers will offer better performance and stability along with an operating system upgrade. In the next few days we will begin migrating some of our customers on older hardware over to brand new machines.

If you have any questions or concerns about the migration, please contact our support team. ** Any customer being migrated will receive multiple advance notices via e-mail before the migration begins.
