Example, Hosted Services. SAAS. I have 2 server, each server using a copy of windows plesk. I first install free trial script into subfolder reside in Server A. eg: sample.com/service/username1 sample.com/service/username2 sample.com/service/username3 Then when people decided to upgrade, I gonna move all files to theirnewdomain.com, including database etc into Server B (another copy of plesk). In such case, what is the best suggestion to perform this kind of upgrade? Move files from serverA to ServerB, possible to automate it? Zip it into a common place for Server B to pickup? Moving mysql db created in ServerA's plesk into ServerB's plesk, best way? Recreate a copy into ServerB, then dump data into the fresh copy? Seems like not possible to directly modify the db pointing in plesk database, because its now 2 server, each server got a copy of plesk. Things are separated. Note, this process need a few task to be done in the process. Eg: update to centralized database of the file moving status, domain creation status, db creation status, and etc... Any idea? How actually other service that host in multi server work?

Seems like not. Plesk migration is for migrating the whole site. But I want to migrate from a a specific subfolder's files to a new domain.

In that case, you can simple map the remote server drive as a network drive (if it is in the network) and copy the files as if they are local.
