How do I migrate a non-cPanel / custom site? Print

  • 0

Sites from non-cPanel hosts (Plesk, custom servers, or static hosting) migrate manually, but it's very doable.

  1. Download all your website files from the old host via FTP/SFTP or its file manager.
  2. Upload them to public_html in Toshost cPanel using File Manager or FTP.
  3. If you use a database, export it from the old host and import it via phpMyAdmin (see our database migration guide).
  4. Update your app's config file with the new database details and any paths.
  5. Recreate email accounts in cPanel and set the correct PHP version in MultiPHP Manager.

Test thoroughly using a temporary URL before pointing your domain to the nameservers in your welcome email. For apps needing special services, a VPS gives full control. Want help? Open a ticket with your old host details.
