A method, system and computer product for a migration of a shared hosting environment with an IP change is provided. Migration is performed with the help of a special tool&#x2014;the migrator. For each migrated domain on the source server, the TTL (time to live) values are decreased on the source DNS server. If possible, for a database server, a replication between the source and the target servers is set up for migrated databases. The migrator creates configuration of web sites and mail service on the target server and copies files and mail messages from the source to the target server; the migrator creates databases (if replication is not available) on the target server; and the migrator creates DNS zones with DNS records pointing to the target server. Once administrator checks that site works well on the target server, the migrator performs content sync and sets DNS zone on the source server as slave to DNS zone on the target server.

Shared hosting environment migration with IP change and decreased downtime

A method for migration of hosting environment, includes creating a base workflow as a tree of leaf and compound actions; detecting a control panel type on a target machine; applying workflow extensions to the base workflow for the control panel type on the target machine, to generate an extended workflow; detecting a control panel type on a source machine, wherein the control panel type on the target machine may be different from the control panel type on the source machine; applying additional workflow extensions to the extended workflow for the control panel type on the source machine, to generate a final workflow; and executing the final workflow to migrate a hosting environment from the source machine to the target machine and from the control panel type on the source machine to the control panel type on the target machine, using one of four execution modes: sequential, sequential-batch, parallel and parallel-batch.
