Full Server cloning allows you to create an exact copy of your existing server setup, including all applications and configurations. It is useful when you need to switch to a different cloud provider, move to a new server region, or test a different server type. You can also use it to downsize to a smaller server or perform load testing.
With xCloud, you can easily clone full server and modify certain configurations, such as switching the database(MySQL to MariaDB) or server type (NGINX to OpenLiteSpeed). Follow the step-by-step process to clone full server and migrate to another server.

First, you need to create a second server to clone your existing server. Once you are done with it, go to your source server (The server that you want to clone) and click the clone server option from the action menu.
Step 2: Choose Your Destination Server #
Now choose your destination server to clone from the existing server and click on the ‘Next’ button.
Step 3: Select and Migrate Website #
