To migrate your cPanel hosting account to DoRoyal, you can follow these general steps:
- Sign up for a hosting account with DoRoyal if you haven't already. Make sure to choose a plan that suits your needs.
- In your cPanel hosting account, go to the "Files" section and navigate to the "Backup" or "Backups" option.
- Create a full backup of your cPanel account. This should include your website files, databases, email accounts, and settings.
- Download the backup file to your local computer. It will be generated as a compressed .tar.gz file, and should look something like this - backup-accountname-01-22-2022.tar.gz
- [optional] Rename the file from backup-accountname-01-22-2022.tar.gz to cpmove-accountname.tar.gz - this will allow for us to more easily and quickly restore your account, as we ultimately require a cpmove file for restore.
Once you have completed these initial steps, you can proceed with the migration process in DoRoyal. Here's what you should do:
- Log in to your DirectAdmin hosting account.
- Navigate to the File Manager, or connect to your account through FTP.
- Upload the backup file you downloaded from your cPanel hosting account.
- Once the backup file is uploaded successfully, we can initiate the restoration process.
- Open a support ticket to DoRoyal's Migration department, letting us know where you uploaded the backup file to.
- DoRoyal will process the backup and restore your website, databases, email accounts, and settings to your new hosting environment.
- After the restoration process is complete, review your website and all its functionalities to ensure everything is working correctly.
- Finally, update your domain so that it points to our network. This can be done by changing your name servers, or simply setting up an A Record to our shared IP address.
Please keep in mind that the exact steps may differ depending on the hosting provider and the specific interfaces they provide. If you encounter any issues or need further guidance, it's recommended to contact our support team for personalized assistance throughout the migration process.
