Your best bet is to create full account backups of each account and then transfer the backup files to the destination server and restore them from there.

You can always ask the client to ask Hostgator support to provide backups of all their accounts.

I’ve had many clients request this and had no issue from Hostgator providing backups upon request.

Taking backup is not a issue. There is 100+ accs in Reseller. It will took lot of time to take backup and then restore.
Is there any auto method??

I've never really had success transferring resellers from Hostgator using automated means (i.e. Transfer Tool).

Like I mentioned previously, simply request Hostgator support to create backups of all the resellers accounts.

Then you can download them to your server and quickly bulk restore them via command line.

I would suggest restoring the main reseller account first and then from the folder containing the remainder of the backup files, run the following command:

for i in *; do /scripts/restorepkg --restricted $i; done;
