I've got several websites in azure, and they are now grouped into "Web Hosting Plans". I have two plans total. What I'd like to do is move the sites from one plan into the other. Is there a way to do this without removing the sites and recreating them?
The most convenient way to transfer your website's files to your new web hosting account is via FTP. You should connect to your hosting account and download the files locally to your computer. Then upload them to your new hosting account's main folder (usually public_html, www or httpdocs).
You can migrate a website to another server by using a backup created in GoDaddy Pro. Note: You need to enable Premium Backups in order to clone the website. Log in to your GoDaddy Pro account.
Numerous emerging technologies make it exceedingly easy to move a website from one host to another. However, no matter how fast the speed of the transfer is, the average customer may experience some downtime during the transfer process.
The required steps are as follows (All from powershell)
1: Login
Add-AzureAccount
2: Switch to azure resource mode
Switch-AzureMode AzureResourceManager
3: Create dictionary to represent the new farm
$whp=@{"serverfarm" = "<newfarm>";}
4: Switch Farm
Set-AzureResource -name <sitename> -ResourceGroupName <groupname> -ResourceType Microsoft.Web/sites -apiversion 2014-04-01 -PropertyObject $whp
You can get a list of resources by executing Get-AzureResourceGroup
once you are in resource mode
You can now do this from the preview portal
1: Login to the preview portal (portal.azure.com)
2: Pull up the card for the website you want to change
3: Click the ellipsis on the action bar near the top
4: Click Web Hosting Plan
5: Profit
Here are the Azure Portal steps on March 2015.
Note: This will only list destination App Service Plans that are in the same Resource Group.
