Transfers
← Go BackOverview
Assuming you are running cPanel and WHM on two servers, you can move domains from one server to another. You can also do special transfers with certain other software programs. You can do these transfers one account at a time using this procedure, or you can transfer multiple domains at once - refer to Transferring Multiple Accounts from Another Server for more information.
When transferring accounts, you should note that there may be some downtime for the site(s) being transferred. To minimize downtime, you can use DNS clustering to update the DNS zone files automatically. You will need to make sure that everything is properly set up before the account is moved. By properly setting up the server that will hold the transferred account(s) beforehand, you will have fewer problems and can minimize any chance of down time.
To access the Transfers Menu, click on Transfers, on the main screen of your WebHost Manager interface.
NOTE: If you only have the account's username and passowrd and do not have access to the root password, refer to this documentation.
NOTE: It is possible to use a customized transfer script. You will need to place the customized transfer script in /var/cpanel/lib/Whosmgr/Pkgacct/. For example, you can copy /usr/local/cpanel/Whostmgr/Pkgacct/pkgacct to /var/cpanel/lib/Whostmgr/Pkgacct/pkgacct and then make custom changes.
To specify that WHM should use your custom transfer script, you will need to ensure that the Allow Override checkbox is checked during the transfer process in WHM.
