The following information about the structure of a webspace might be of interest to system administrators and developers involved in a migration process.
On Linux Servers
The table below shows a list of directories that are created for each webspace. Note that not all of the directories are created by default. Some of them are created only when a website owner needs them. Such directories are marked as created on demand. For example, after a customer adds a website, it does not have the /web_users directory. It will be created only after the customer adds his or her first web user.
The following table lists subdirectories of a virtual host directory /var/www/vhosts/<vhost>.
