    Default Using backup feature to transfer files between hosts..

    Hello, I'm thinking of moving hosts - I've a couple of webhosting accounts now with cPanel, what I would like to ask is that if its possible to just backup my files from one of them using the backup function, and upload it to another webhost with cPanel using the backup restore?

    Thanks.

    You might need to make sure you have the same username... as some of the stuff in your backup folder may have stuff tied to a username in it.

    are you a reseller?

    if so your new host can move them for you.

    if it's your own machine
    this may possibly help
    change your DNS and setup the new machine first.

    make sure there is at least 50% free space in all the accounts. i.e. if 1 accounts quota is 100MB and they use less than 50MB it's ok, otherwise increase them

    when the dns starts to resolve then use whm's multi account copy.

    nah I'm just a normal webhost user using cPanel I currently have accounts with 3 webhosts that use cPanel... I was just wondering whether I could move my site using the backup feature

    I've a domain with DNS controls, so I use the 'Parked Domain' feature on cPanel... would it cause any problems to move my site this way? Thanks.
