Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Software and Control Panels : Best way to move from Plesk to cPanel host?

[sygyzy]

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!

Does my webhost have to help me with using it? I don't see it when I log into Cpanel.

Where is this transfer utility located in cPanel?

[Hosting Gate]

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.
