It can happen while migrating the mass server:

In many cases, the server is retired where it is difficult to deal with the server and the impossibility of maintaining the server. In this case, the user moves their clients to a new server, through which you can identify all the answers you need to know.

questions and answers
Migration types:
There are two types of migration, the first migration is direct migration and the second migration is the migration failure.
Direct migration: The old server is copied to the new server

Will my primary domain remain the same?
Yes, fortunately the server migration process does not negatively affect your domains as the migration process is done by copying the structure of the file or account, all cPanels will retain the primary domain name.

Will the additional domains remain in place?
Yes, all additional domains will remain unchanged.

My IP addresses will change ?
Yes, any custom IP addresses within cPanel accounts will remain the same. These are usually in place of SSLs.

Will my databases stay the same?
Direct Migration - A copy of the databases within cPanel will be copied as they were on the original server. This means that they will retain all data, naming conventions, user names, permissions and others.

Failover migration - copies all databases on cPanel as they were on the original server without any change. But the collected data will not be copied or changed on the failover server. Doing so will need to be moved manually.

Will my SSL processes remain the same?
Yeah . SSLs are based on the domain name, custom IP, and server type. All of these items remain the same as during migration, so the SSL keys will not need to be re-enabled.

Will you still sign in to WordPress, Joomla, etc.?
Yeah . All data in the databases on the new account are added to each other.

Will I lose any emails?
 If no direct migration, any e-mail on the old server will be copied to your new server.

In the case of Failover migration - any emails received and sent on the failover server will not be copied directly to the new server, so you will need to manually perform the transfer.

Will the server name change?
If the new server has a new name, in that case all references to that name must be changed and done manually.
