I think it was about an hour to move around ten sites to the new server.

I still use CSSEdit for most of my CSS work, but I know that MacRabbit is discontinuing it in favor of rolling it’s features into Espresso. I wish they’d leave it as a separate application, as I prefer Textmate for all coding, but Im sure I’ll need to consider transitioning to Espresso.

Are you still using CSSEdit? (I can see your post is a few years old)

If you do, what version are using? And do you still recommend it?

Thanks.

@Mike,

From what I can tell, it’s a bit faster, but the main selling point for me is the whole upgrade package. The new Plesk interface is easier to use, and seems a bit faster as well, while offering more more for resellers. The upgraded Developer Tools have made it easier for me to customize my server with any components I need, where as the (dv) 3.5 didn’t seem as user friendly while mucking around in Terminal.

Thanks for the pointers! Have you noticed any significant page speed improvements with the DV 4.0 upgrade? From looking at MT’s page, the copy makes it sound like everything is faster, but I wonder if it’s worth the hassle to upgrade for me.

@rama,

I hope it works out better the second time around. I didn’t have multiple FTP user accounts for any of my domain names, so most likely didn’t see the same error you experienced. Let me know if the solution worked and I’ll update the post.

I am currently undergoing second migration from 3.5 to 4.0 since my first was a big problem with ftp user error, “void plesk::validateSchema(plesk::tXmlDocument&, const std::string&)./xml_parse.cpp412Failed validation of the document with its internal DTD. The errors are: Element ‘ftpusers’: This element is not expected. Expected is ( sites )..“
So the solution from MT and Plesk is just NO FIX but “edit the sub-domains that have unique FTP users, and set them to “Use the FTP user account of the main domain”.
Anyway after doing so, now i cross finger all goes well!

@Tristan,

Like Jean Marc said, I didn’t run into any problems with migration, it was a little more involved than the jump from (dv) 3.0 to (dv) 3.5, but I didn’t have to customize anything on my blog, which is WordPress. I believe it’s easier to integrate Google Apps with the new hosting package.

I’m in the process of migrating from our (dv) 3.5 to a new 4.0. Don’t worry about wordpress, if you use the Plesk migration manager it’s pretty much a one-step process. It’ll migrate web content, databases, and email addresses. WP sites just show up on the new server, up and running, super easy.
