Moving a virtual server changes the domain administration who has control over it. The actual functions of the server are un-effected, but it can now be managed by a different administrator, and counts towards any limits on domains, aliases and databases for that new admin.

This page can be used to perform three different types of operations, depending on what kind of server you are editing and what you want to do with it. They are :

Move a sub-server under a different parent
  When editing a sub-server, you can select a different parent domain from the menu to change its ownership. The server's website, DNS domain, mailboxes and so on will be un-effected, but it will now be under the control of the owner of the new selected parent. Its home directory will be moved under the home of the new parent, and all files will have their ownership changed to the new parent's user and group.

Move a parent server under a different parent
  When editing a parent server, you can convert it to a sub-server using this page. This should be done with care, as some settings that exist only for parent servers (such as the password, quotas and limits) will be lost, as they are now inherited from the new parent. In addition, any Unix user, Unix group or Webmin user associated with the domain will be deleted.

Convert a sub-server to a parent server
  When editing a sub-server, you have the option of converting it to a parent server owned by a new server administrator. A username and password for the new admin must be entered. After the move is complete, all files in the server's new home directory will be owned by the new user. Disk quotas, bandwidth limits and server owner limits for the moved server will be copied from the old parent, but can subsequently be edited separately.

Changing the target of an alias
  If the selected server is an alias of another server, this form can be used to point it at a different target. Once the move is complete, web access to the domain will return content from the new target, and email to the domain will be forwarded to the new target's mailboxes.
