  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Question Migrate Plesk to New Server

rafaelgrecco

New Pleskian
Hi,

I need to migrate my current Plesk installation (Obsidian Version 18.0.40) that is running on a VM on my own hardware to the cloud.

I'm not sure if I should clone the VM and upload it, so I have the exact copy of my installation, or if I should make a new Plesk installation.

The problem with cloning the VM is that the IP addresses will be different and I think Plesk won't be able to adjust all necessary settings.

Making a fresh installation I'll have a clean system and I can use Plesk Migrator Extension to migrate each client/subscription at a time --- but to migrate it this way I'll need to have 2 Plesk servers running simultaneously for a couple weeks (until all migration is done). Can I use the same license for this purpose or do I need to buy a new license?

I appreciante any advice you can give me.

Regards.
