Migration Guide

HPanel supports three migration methods to move hosting accounts from cPanel or other servers.

Method 1: cPanel Backup Upload

If you have a cPanel full backup file (.tar.gz), you can upload it directly through the HPanel migration interface.

• Navigate to Admin → Migration
• Select "Upload cPanel Backup"
• Upload the .tar.gz file
• HPanel extracts and migrates websites, databases, emails, SSL, and DNS records

Method 2: Remote SSH Pull

Connect to a remote cPanel server, generate a backup, and pull it directly:

• Navigate to Admin → Migration
• Select "Remote SSH Migration"
• Enter the remote server IP, SSH port, and root credentials
• Select the cPanel account to migrate
• HPanel creates a backup remotely, downloads it, and migrates the account

Method 3: HAdmin Bulk Migration

For migrating entire HAdmin servers with multiple accounts:

• Navigate to Admin → Migration → Bulk
• Enter HAdmin API credentials
• Select accounts to migrate
• HPanel migrates them in parallel with progress tracking
