Move your Hosting to a Cloud with SWPanel

The "Move this Hosting to a Cloud" option allows you to change the location of a Hosting and, additionally, split its services across different servers.

If you do not have a Cloud, you can contract one by following the instructions in the following manual:

Manuale: How to create a Cloud with SWPanel as a management panel

Dividing the services of a Hosting refers to separating the Database, DNS, and email services into different Cloud servers.

Important! When splitting the services of a Hosting across different Clouds (for example: Cloud1 with Database and Cloud2 with Web, email and DNS), a service with the same name will be created in each Cloud. Since these services refer to the same Hosting, if the cancellation of one is requested, both will be deleted.

• To start, you must go to the Service Tree of your SWPanel and locate the Hosting service you wish to move.

• Once finalized, the SWPanel will begin to perform the move of the Hosting, and the following message will appear in the Active Services Tree: This service is being prepared, please wait a few minutes...' in your service.

Important! We recommend that before starting the Hosting service redefinition process, you set your website to maintenance mode, so that there are no modifications at the file or database level during the time period required for the service redefinition between your servers.

*Important! When moving services, if the DNS servers have been modified, you must wait for them to propagate again. The maximum time for this operation is 24/48 h.
