hello,
what is the best way to transfer an account (including the DB) from cpanel -> cpanel server ?
Thanks

Do you have root access in servers? atleast in the new one? Then it is very easy.
Log into the WHM in the new server --> Transfers --> Copy an account from another server with account password.
Give the Server IP, account username and the password for teh account.
Whm will do the rest. After it is finished, check teh logs and see whether there is any errors.
Let me know if you have any questions.

david150 is correct, or you could generate a full backup of the site you want to move via the backup in Cpanel, then SSH and wget the file to your home directory, then run the restore feature viw WHM on the new server. If you do not have root access, your new host may be able to do it for you.

For the restore part you can also use SSH:

/scripts/restorepkg <username>

thanks to all. However i have no root access. The webite is not problem to transfer.. problem is the database. What if i create the exact same DB in the new CPanel and then upload the DB with the Restore function ? Does this work?

Thanks

Hello,

Login to the cpanel of your domain and then take the backup of your entire site from the control panel. Once your account is activated on the other server, then again login to the control panel ( this time in the new server) and then restore your site or domain from control panel of your domain.

This should help you.

Thank you.
