I know you can change providers cPanel to cPanel without much hassle.

But what is the best way to move from a Plesk to cPanel situation? I have all sorts of little stuff like phpbb (mysql, php), etc that need to be moved.

Thanks in advance.

cPanel has a transfer utility in it. Yes, it's true it works with cPanel, but it also works wil Plesk, Ensim and Albanza.

Good luck!

in the Transfers section in WHM , but you must be root to see that feature , if you are a reseller you won't be able to see it..

good luck

I guess I have to submit a support ticket! Since Plesk and cPanel uses different "root" html folders, I wonder if the transfer utility is smart enough to realize that?

Well now is a good time to test your current and future web hosts support to see just how helpful and knowledgeable they are.
