Migrate from Plesk to enconf — without downtime
The enconf import tool connects directly to your Plesk server via SSH and automatically transfers customers, websites, databases, email (incl. passwords), DNS, FTP and WordPress — without downtime, with rollback at any time.
The process
Install enconf
Installed in 5 minutes via a curl command on Debian 13 — admin login ready immediately.
Start the import
In the panel under Import → New Import, choose Plesk as the source.
Connect via SSH
Enter host, SSH port, SSH user + password (root or sudo), target server and default plan, then Connect and Scan. enconf connects directly to the Plesk server via SSH — no API key needed, root access is sufficient.
Review the scan
enconf lists everything it found — customers, websites, mailboxes, databases, DNS. You can deselect individual items.
Start the migration
Start Migration automatically transfers websites with files, databases, mailboxes incl. password hashes, forwarders, DNS records and cron jobs. WordPress is auto-detected.
SSL automatically
Let's Encrypt certificates are requested automatically after the migration.
Go live
Only after review do you point DNS to enconf. The Plesk server stays untouched until then.
What the import tool transfers
✓ Is migrated
- Customers & resellers incl. assignments
- Websites with files & configuration
- Domain aliases & redirect domains
- Mailboxes incl. password hashes (Maildir via rsync) + forwarders
- MariaDB/MySQL databases (SSH pipe, no RAM limit)
- DNS records & cron jobs
- WordPress installations (auto-detected)
- SSL: automatic via Let's Encrypt after migration
Good to know
- SSH access to the Plesk server (root or sudo) is required
- Email passwords do NOT need to be reset (hashes are transferred)
- enconf runs on Linux — pure Windows Plesk setups are not covered
- Besides Plesk, cPanel/WHM (11.x–118.x) and Enhance (7.x–8.x) are also available as import sources
Time & rollback
Rollback: Your Plesk 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 the migration automated?
Yes. The enconf import tool connects to your Plesk server via SSH, scans all objects and transfers them in one click — customers, websites, databases, email, DNS, FTP, cron jobs and WordPress. No API key is needed, SSH access (root/sudo) is sufficient.
Do customers have to reset their email passwords?
No. Mailboxes are transferred including password hashes (Maildir via rsync) — customers keep logging in with their existing password.
Is there downtime? And rollback?
No: everything is built in parallel on enconf, and you switch DNS only after review. The Plesk server stays untouched — if anything is off, point DNS back to it (full rollback without data loss).
Does cPanel or Enhance work too?
Yes, in the same import wizard: enconf also imports directly from cPanel/WHM (11.x–118.x) and Enhance (7.x–8.x).
