Importing a cPanel backup

WARNING

If any domains you are importing already exist in your account, you will need to delete these to proceed with the import… make sure you always back up your work or website.

To import a cPanel account:

• Select the website importer in the left sidebar
• Click New Import
• Generate a full account backup in your cPanel interface. Save the tar.gz file to your desktop. Click Next

• Upload your backup and click Next. If you have previously uploaded a backup you will see this backup listed to the left.
• Once the page loads. Check for any conflicts (Any conflicts that are blocking your website import will be highlighted in the red modal)
• Select Import now to finish

Repeat the same process for the “Plesk” Option

If you are not able to use the above 2 methods you can always use the manual website migration method. It involves taking website files and Database backup and restore on the new server.
