Moving from cPanel to Enhance: what changes for you
cPanel has been the default hosting panel for twenty years, so most people moving away from it are not comparing features — they are worried about the…

Free migration to inSave Hosting
Engineers move your websites, databases and mailboxes from your current host, whatever panel it runs, free onto any of our hosting plans, VPS or dedicated servers. You check the copy on a temporary address, and we switch the DNS when you say so.

One siteWithin a day

What it costsFree
Done by an engineer, not handed to you as a tool.
What we move
Everything a site needs to keep working the way it does now, not just the files.
Websites
Files, uploads and the site's configuration: WordPress, Joomla or a site built by hand.
Databases
MySQL and PostgreSQL databases with their data, connected to the site again on our side.
Mailboxes and the mail already in them, so nobody starts over with an empty inbox.

How it goes
Free on every plan, done by an engineer rather than handed to you as a tool, and with the old host left running until you have checked the new copy.
WebsitesDatabasesEmail
Send the login to the current host, or a backup file. One site or forty — the migration is free on every plan.
The site comes up on our platform on a temporary address. Nothing points here yet, so you can click through it before anything changes.
When you say go, the name points at us. Done outside your busy hours if you ask, and with the old host still running until it is finished.
What we need from you
Access to the current host
The login to its control panel, whichever panel that is, or a full backup if you would rather not share one. Either works.
A list of what moves
The domains, and the mailboxes on each. If something should stay behind, say so: a move is a good time to drop old sites.
A time for the switch
When the domain should point here, outside your busy hours if you prefer. We make the switch ourselves; if the domain's DNS is managed elsewhere, we will ask for access to it.
Worth mentioning up front, if you have them: cron jobs, custom PHP settings, Node.js apps and mail forwarding rules — so they are planned into the move rather than discovered after it.
Where it can move to
Shared hosting
Sites and mail on LiteSpeed and NVMe, MySQL and PostgreSQL, each site in its own container.
Managed WordPress
WordPress sites, with updates, staging and cPFence hardening looked after for you.
Reseller hosting
A whole reseller account with every client in it, moved free into a white-label Enhance panel.
VPS hosting
Sites, databases and mail moved onto a KVM virtual machine of your own, on NVMe.
Dedicated servers
The same move onto bare metal, for a project that has outgrown shared resources.
Managed servers
Want the server run for you after the move? Monitoring, updates, backups and incident response are Managed servers.
Migration questions
Is migration really free?
Yes. Moving sites, databases and mail onto any of our hosting plans, a VPS or a dedicated server costs nothing, and there is no limit on how many of them come along — on Reseller, every client account too.
Which control panels can you move from?
Any of them: cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, ISPmanager, FastPanel, or a host's own panel such as hPanel. We work from the panel login or from a backup, whichever your host gives you.
How long does it take?
A site is moved within a day of us getting access to it. There is no limit on how many sites, databases or mailboxes come along; when there are many, we agree the order and the switch times with you.
What if something does not import automatically?
It moves anyway. Everything goes onto Enhance with its own import tools first, and whatever they cannot take, an engineer moves by hand — as part of the same free migration.
Will the site go down during the move?
No. It keeps running at your current host while we copy it, and you check the copy on a temporary address. Visitors reach the new copy only after the domain switches, and the old host stays up until it has.
Do I cancel my old hosting first?
No — keep it until you have checked everything here and the domain has switched. Cancel it afterwards, and keep its last backup for a while.
Can you move my clients from cPanel?
Yes, free, and we do it rather than hand you a tool. Send the reseller login or per-account backups; we restore them here, you check them on temporary addresses, then the domains move when you say so. What to prepare is in our guide to moving reseller clients from cPanel.
What if something does not work after the move?
Tell us in a ticket: it goes to the engineers who did the move. That is also why the old host stays up until you have checked — going back is a DNS change, not a rebuild.
Request a migration
Tell us where the sites are now and roughly how many. An engineer replies with what they need and when the move can happen.
Tell us in the request:
- Current host
- Moving to
- Number of sites
- Number of mailboxes
- Anything we should know
The button opens the request form in our client area — no account needed.
