Thanks for the answer.

I also have found this KB article, but I want to know if there a way for migrating to a server with a new hostname (other domain)?

I doubt if that's possible. All the documentation points to "importing/migrating repository" which holds the hostname/FQDN. That means, that property will not change and will be carried over. You can open a ticket with your query, it may be worth having a KB which suggests this information.

Not sure if the hostname change will work or not, however please check this KB, if it helps:
