If you want to migrate from a Web or Cloud hosting plan to a CyberPanel VPS hosting, follow these steps:
Step 1 - Download Backups From hPanel
To get information from hPanel easily, all you have to do is download the backup. If your website is using a database, make sure to download it as well.
If you have any hPanel settings, like redirects, you will need to recreate them later inside CyberPanel itself - it's recommended to wait until you have everything set up and working correctly at your VPS before deleting your domain from the previous hosting plan.
As an alternative to the Backup feature on hPanel, you can download your files via FTP and export the database via phpMyAdmin.
Step 2 - Upload the Data to Your VPS
Activate your VPS order if it was still pending setup
Log in to CyberPanel and add your domain
Transfer your files using your preferred method: via the CyberPanel File Manager or using FTP
If your website uses a database, create and upload the database on CyberPanel
After the database is uploaded, update your configuration files with new database parameters
Step 3 - Point Your Domain
Once your content is fully migrated to your VPS, you can point your domain by following this guide: How to Point a Domain to Your VPS.
After updating your domain's DNS record, consider up to 24 hour for the propagation, process to complete.
Step 4 - Migrate Emails (Optional)
