Transferring sites from cPanel (WHM) to Plesk 9.0

Posted by Zaggs, 10-20-2009, 04:23 AM
Hi Guys, Can anyone suggest the best way to transfer sites (including files and databases) from a cPanel server to a Plesk 9.0 server? Is there anything out these to automate this? If not, whats the fastest way? I have about 90 sites I need to transfer. Thanks.

Check the migration manager option in plesk.

I do not have migration manager in Plesk 9.0.0

If you check some threads in WHT, you will find it is never recommended to shift from Cpanel to Plesk. I would suggest you stick to Cpanel.

Do you have any specific reason to migrate from cpanel to plesk? Will your clients like to have plesk as the control panel?

Yes our clients have requested Plesk and I find it a better control panel too.

I agree it is a better control panel and prefer it over cPanel. However, moving sites is not an easy task. We have never been able to use the migration manager in our past moves. After tinkering for an hour or so, we usually give up and move sites over manually. Email is especially difficult, however the FETCH command found in Horde is quite helpful. You may need to fetch before switching the domain name over. Good luck!
