Note: When changing a plan for a subscription from Linux Shared Hosting to WebHosting Linux, a change order will be created in Billing. If there is a difference in resource allotments or subscription periods between plans, some charges might be reflected in an invoice.

Running the Pre-migration Checks

We recommend that you run the following checks before starting migration.

Service plan checks

  • Check whether it is possible to change the subscriptions' plans from Linux Shared Hosting to WebHosting Linux.
  • Check whether the resources of the source plan can be mapped to the resources of the target plan and whether there are enough resources on the target servers.

Infrastructure checks

  • Check whether the required services are running on the server.
  • Check whether there are incomplete tasks that must be completed before starting migration, such as "Dump config image for domain service" or "Restart the Apache service."
  • Check the connection between the source and the target servers.
  • Check whether there is enough disk space to accommodate customers' backups.

WebHosting Linux checks

  • Check if subscriptions from a host can be provisioned on a web cluster or server.
  • Check if there is at least one website with FTP access.
  • Check if there is at least one parked domain.

Checking the Migration Progress

To check the migration progress, go to System > Migration Manager > Migration Projects > Running tab > <migration project name>. When the migration is completed, a record about it is shown in System > Migration Manager > Migration Projects > Completed tab.
