Site Maintenance Plan
This week is like no weekend to me, I need to move all of my sites to my new server. I already moved some of my profit generating sites to my new server and all I can say is that my new server is much better and faster in terms of response time compared to my old WebHost.
Transfer Plan
1. Update Domain Name Server - point to my new web server DNS
2. BackUp MySql db 1 at a time - because my current host doesnt have a cpanel back-up now 
3. Zip all files per domain
4. copy zip to my new server
5. Extract all files
6. Create DB / Username per domain
7. Update wordpress config.php to point to the correct DB location and username
8. Wait till the my new DNS name propagates it will take 24-48hrs before it propagates correctly.
9. Since both sever are running, there will be no downtime for my site transfer activities.
Note: Make sure not to post articles this time until it correctly propagates to your new server host.
