I would like to change the server and move Magento 2.1.0 from server A to server B without any difference in data, theme, extensions, and configuration. only the domain will be a change from www.domaina.com to www.domainb.com. What is the best way to transfer it? I'm using Magento 2 CE.

edit: now I decide to buy a new theme. so, I install Magento CE 2.2.0 from application wizard in Plesk but when I import database I can't enter to the dashboard.

edit: after transfer to a new server and import database, I git this error when trying to enter to the dashboard: There has been an error processing your request. Unable to unserialize value
