Help require to migrate from Server A (vps) to Server B (dedicated)


We have 2 Servers:
Server A - this is a VPS
All webfiles/domains/dns/nameservers are confuigured on this server


Server B - this is a dedicated server
Only Databases are setup on this server.


Now we have planned to move from Server A to Server B to avoid/minimize server loads caused on Server A due to heavy traffic.

How should we begin ?
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/web-hosting-discussion/481626-help-require-migrate-server-vps-server.html
How can we minimize the downtime in migration. ?
How can we transfer our awstats logs from last 2 years to new server ?



We are mainly concerned about domains/dns setup where we have least knowledge these are only on Server A. We are also using custom nameservers and Servint nameservers for some domains respectively.

Thank You.

1. Move files and database to server 2. make sure that the site works.
2. make the site on server 1 offline and point the DNS to server 2s Ip address. Wait for the DNS change to propogate(few hrs max.)
3. Once site resolves to server 2, set up the DNS server on server to and edit the name server IP addres on your domain registarar to make server 2 the authotative DNS for your sites.

There wont be any down time for step 3. You can give up the server 1 after step 3.

What is your control panel? Do you have a root access?
