How a client can change hosting to mine?

1. For example I found website and i want its website to be on my server. I have to enter DNS address to my server, and client has to remove DNS from another server and it will work?
2. Are there any other methods?

Are you web hosting provider?
DNS records are stored and can be changed on domain name registrars side.

Even though I don't think you should do it yourself but hire someone who knows what he is doing to do it for you, you should:

1) Make sure you added the exact domain to your server and moved the files correctly, including the database (if exists) and changed the configuration files manually to adjust for new sql server.

2) Change the Name Servers of the domain you wish to transfer to the Name Servers of your new server, for example: ns1.godaddy.com ns2.goddady.com >>> ns1.namecheap.com ns2.namecheap.com

3) The change may take from 1 minute to 48 hours, depending on the registrar, icann and other variables.

4) If you want to be sure the change has been made, I personally create a file in the new server named "temp.html" and add a random line like "It worked". Then go to www.yourdomain.com/temp.html and see if the move was completed successfuly.

No, I'm just learning, browsing guides, etc.

Thanks for your help, I appreciate that. I need at least 15 posts to write PM.

For example, let's say that I am buying several VPS servers. On one of them I install Plesk control panel or cPanel.
I want each user to have access to the control panel, and I want one VPS per user.

I read that:

you can transfer a server license to different IP addresses within the same server.

1.) So I can't have multiple control panels for users on multiple VPS, because server license can only be used within the same server, right?
If so, then:
2.) Will keeping multiple websites on one VPS with control panel cause RAM and CPU resources to be used on the main server if a lot of DNS is assigned to other VPS?

My point is to keep all websites on one VPS, but redirect the domain to another VPS using DNS, so that users can get as much resources as possible.

If you rent a VPS, you will get 1 IP. Then you will buy a hosting panel like cPanel/Plesk/Directadmin and create admin user, which can create a reseller, which can create users (in some panels you can create users from the admin user himself). every user can add a new domain and add files, so basically it's a hosting package.

I currently have on one of my VPS's more than 70 users. this server is running 4 cpu, 8gb ram and it get LOTS of traffic. Most of the time these resources are not being 100% used, but I have upgraded it until I got to these settings and ofcourse i'll upgrade more if needed. I can't say it doesn't have issues but if you are knowledgeable enough you can find solutions for everything. I don't touch it daily, everything is running and automated.

I'm still just trying to wrap my head around the fact that you have clients paying you to handle their website for them and you don't even know how a simple website hosting migration works? That's the real question

You're really going to want some kind of hosting control panel software unless you're a little more comfortable with the concepts involved than you seem from your post. I would not recommend Cpanel/Plesk, as they are expensive, filled with features you likely don't need or want, and are owned by a monolith that doesn't care about its customers. Something like DirectAdmin would likely be fine for you and it's not very expensive.
