Migrating clients with the cPanel importer

Moving to DirhamHost from cPanel is designed to be painless. DirhamHost includes a built-in cPanel importer that brings accounts across with their websites, email, databases and settings intact.

The typical process:

1. Generate a standard cPanel backup (cpmove) of each account.
2. Use the DirhamHost importer to load it onto your new server.
3. The importer recreates the account, files, databases and email.
4. Update DNS to point to the new server.

Because the importer understands the standard cPanel backup format, most migrations need little manual work. For large batches or a smooth cutover, contact our team on WhatsApp +971 58 553 6767 or support@dirhamaday.ae and we can help you plan the migration.

Because the importer works with the standard cPanel backup format, you can move accounts in batches at a pace that suits you, testing as you go. Keeping the old server online for a short while after each move gives DNS time to propagate so no visitor is left without a site. This staged approach keeps downtime to a minimum and gives you confidence that everything has come across correctly before you switch fully.
