If you have cpanel account on shared server and want to transfer it to your personal VPS with cPanel/WHM.
First of all, you need to create new VPS using template with cPanel preinstalled or to use clear CentOS template and install cPanel/WHM there manually. When done you should be able to log into your WHM cPanel (main configuration panel) using one of the following URLs:
https://[YOUR_SERVER_IP]:2087/
or
http://[YOUR_SERVER_IP]:2086
login: root
password: the same as for ‘root’ user to your server.
Select “Transfers” in the main Menu:
Then enter “Copy an account from another server with account password”:
In order to perform migration you should provide some details of the domain to migrate: domain name, source server IP, username to copy and user’s password:
Press “Copy account” buton and wait until the data is fully copied to your new server.
At the end you will have your account in your WHM/cPanel server available under “List accounts”.
http://[YOUR_SERVER_IP]/~username
Make sure everything is working correctly after that you may update name servers to ours.
Also, to check the migrated site you may add the following line:[YOUR_SERVER_IP] domain.cominto “/etc/hosts” file on computer with Linux or MAC or
into “C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts” file if you use Windows on your computer.
This will show you web page from your server IP instead of getting the record via DNS system.
The process of copying multiple accounts is similar, you may find the following video tutorial useful when getting started.
