How to move only some domains to another server account

It is possible to move the server to another server for each contract, but if you want to move to another server for each domain, you will need to delete the domain from the add-on domain.

Please refer to the article on changing the hosting server (migration) for information on moving the server to another server for each contract.

If you want to move the domain to another contracted server, the following procedure is required.
