i want to migrate to new webhost. i have cpanel backup of size 150mb with 6 domains. How to move cpanel backups to new host? Is there any precaution to be followed. My old host is at abc.com But i registered new host at different domain name of xyz.com Is it possible to move backup of abc.com to new xyz.com host? Both hosts are supporting multiple domains. please help.
There is no direct way IMO .. take cpanel backups . Transfer it directly to the server than extract it and restore mysql and change the config of the code
It is just simple. Take the backup, upload it using FTP ( or if u have the root access on both server use scp or wget to save your bandwidth and time ) and then restore the backups using /scripts/restorepkg Vivek
I'll need to do the same thing, but I'm predicting it'll be a pain in the ass to do it. I have a backup that I have done through FTP of the "public_html" folder (contains everything). But I'm afraid of the database, I don't know how to restore the database and make everything work again as before. My website is in wordpress and it's in my signature.
Dont worry about the database. cPanel will automatically detect the sql files and will restore it. Just run that command and it will do the rest. Vivek
Provide your old host cPanel details to your new host. They can transfer the your entire domain using WHM. Once they transfer it, you can request them to rename your domain. Using WHM, you can rename the domain name. Kailash
