Back in olden times, it was common for all pages of a site except the ones that requested personal information to be unsecured. Only contact forms and the like were secured.
The next server I plan to migrate off CentOS 7.9 / cPanel to Rocky Linux 8.x / Virtualmin has two main domains, one of which has multiple subdomains under it; and two “secure” domains that, for whatever reason, cPanel told me had to be created as separate accounts. So it’s something like this:
domain1.tld
sub1.domain1.tld
sub2.domain1.tld
<a few more>
secure.domain1.tld
domain2.tld
secure.domain2.tld
All of both sites are now HTTPS, but we never bothered moving the two “secure” subdomains under their parents, mainly because there was no reason to. It works as is.
How will Virtualmin handle the migration of those two secure cPanel accounts? Can they be migrated in as ordinary top-level virtual servers? Or should they be merged with their parents prior to the migration?
Merging them would be a bit of a bother because we want to maintain the URLs, and I can’t create them as subs of the parent domains as long as they exist as separate accounts on cPanel. So the contact forms, job applications, and other interactive pages would be offline for a while between my deleting them as accounts and re-creating them as subdomains.
Thanks,
