Configuring General Settings for Accounts Migration

When you migrate the web account, the customer's domain should be transferred to the HSPcomplete DNS. However, you can suspend the DNS changes. In this case, the customer's website will be still accessible at its old location by the domain name. But the content of this website (as well as the other relevant web data) is already migrated inside the HSPcomplete Virtual Environment and you can access the website by the new IP address assigned in HSPcomplete. This allows verifying whether a website migration was successful or not. When the DNS changes for the remote account being migrated are suspended, this account stays in the DNS Pending state.

After the data migration is verified, you can approve the DNS changes and finalize the web account migration. After this, the zone file will be created in the HSPcomplete DNS, the HSPcomplete IP address (used before for the website migration verifying) will be assigned to the customer's domain, and the migrated website will become accessible both by the HSPcomplete IP address and the domain name.

You can configure the manual DNS changes approval as well as suspending the old account at the remote server after migration, and migration of both mail exchangers and .htaccess files in the Migration Manager Setup.

To make the general settings in respect to DNS changes and the migrated accounts status at the remote server:

  1. Select Migration Director - Migration Manager.
  2. Open the Migration Manager submenu on the Navigation tree and select Setup. The Migration Manager General settings appear on the screen (the green tick at the setting name indicates that it is enabled, red cross - that not) .
  3. Click the Edit button.
  4. Change the migration general settings:
  5. Click the Update button.
