Migrating from cPanel
Moving from a cPanel host to Dirham A Day is one of the most common migrations we do, and it is free. We have a built-in cPanel importer that reads a standard cPanel backup and recreates your site on our platform - files, databases, email accounts and settings together.
Because cPanel is the most widely used hosting control panel, this process is well-trodden and reliable. There are two easy ways to provide us what we need:
- Give us access to your current cPanel (or your login details), and we can generate and import the backup for you.
- Provide a cPanel backup yourself - a full-account cPanel backup file - which our importer ingests directly.
The migration typically brings across:
- Your website files.
- Your databases.
- Your email accounts and their messages.
- Associated settings so your site works the same on our platform.
To keep your site online during the move, we can use a reverse-proxy cutover: your site stays live on its old address while we set everything up, so there is little or no downtime - and often no DNS change needed from you until you are ready.
Getting started:
- Log in at my.dirhamaday.ae and contact our team.
- Tell us your current host and provide access or a cPanel backup.
- We import, you test, and we switch over when you are happy.
Our UAE-based team manages the whole process - just message WhatsApp +971 58 553 6767 or support@dirhamaday.ae to begin.
