Migrating from DA to cPanel

[david122]

Hello there,

I would like to ask if it is hard to migrate your website from direct admin to Cpanel? How about ftp and database. If I am a beginner can I do it by myself? What is the simplest way to do this? Do you think that It could be done by a non-specialist?

Hello @david122,

Can you confirm if you have root access to both the Direct Admin server and the cPanel & WHM server? If so, you can use WHM >> Transfer Tool to automate the migration process. We document this feature at:

Transfer Tool - Version 74 Documentation - cPanel Documentation

Without root access, you'll need to manually download the website files from the source server and upload them to the destination server. We offer a guide to help with this at:

How to Manually Migrate Accounts to cPanel from Unsupported Control Panels - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation

Thank you.

Really thanks for your help and for links. Hope to do this on my own. Cheers!

You're welcome! Let me know if you get stuck or have questions at any point during the migration.
