cPanel migration

Migrate from cPanel to enconf — without downtime

The enconf import wizard connects to your cPanel/WHM server (11.x–118.x) and automatically transfers customers, websites, databases, email, DNS, FTP and cron jobs — without downtime, with rollback at any time.

The process

1

Install enconf

Installed in 5 minutes via a curl command on Debian 13 — admin login ready immediately.

2

Start the import

In the panel under Import → New Import, choose cPanel / WHM as the source (supports cPanel 11.x–118.x).

3

Connect

Enter the connection details for the cPanel/WHM server and the target in enconf, then Connect and Scan.

4

Review the scan

enconf lists everything it found — customers, websites, mailboxes, databases, DNS, FTP. You can deselect individual items.

5

Start the migration

Start Migration automatically transfers customers, websites with files, databases, mailboxes, DNS records, FTP accounts and cron jobs. WordPress is auto-detected.

6

SSL automatically

Let's Encrypt certificates are requested automatically after the migration.

7

Go live

Only after review do you point DNS to enconf. The cPanel server stays untouched until then.

Good to know

  • Supported source versions: cPanel/WHM 11.x–118.x
  • Access to the cPanel/WHM server is required for the scan
  • enconf runs on Linux
  • Besides cPanel, Plesk (12.x–18.x) and Enhance (7.x–8.x) are also available as import sources

Time & rollback

Time: The import runs automatically; the duration depends on the data volume (files, databases, mailboxes). Because it is built in parallel on enconf, there is no downtime.

Rollback: Your cPanel environment stays untouched until you switch DNS. If anything is off, simply point DNS back to the old system — a full rollback without data loss.

Frequently asked questions

Is there downtime? And rollback?

No: everything is built in parallel on enconf, and you switch DNS only after review. The cPanel server stays untouched — if anything is off, point DNS back to it (full rollback without data loss).
