# How can I migrate my cPanels to Vimzaa Website Hosting?

## Introduction

There are two separate methods exist for server-to-server migrations. Both are managed by us to ensure that the migration is as seamless as possible.

## Method 1

It is the fastest and with least disruption; this is `direct SSH access`. If your existing hosting provider permits SSH access to your account, we can simply perform a cPanel to cPanel migration via SSH. This will retrieve your hosting accounts, leaving them fully online with no disruptions to your existing service. They can then be downloaded into your new Vimzaa Hosting account.

## Method 2

If your existing hosting provider does not permit account-level SSH access, we would then use an `account backup method`. cPanel backups can be taken at an account level by your existing provider, or directly via the cPanel control panel if provided. The backup can be transferred to your new Vimzaa Hosting account via FTP. Once we have received the backup file(s), we can restore these for you and ensure your hosting platform is fully online prior to any DNS changes resulting in service changes.

## Conclusion

Both methods will ensure that e-mail and database passwords are maintained. Please contact us when you are ready to migrate and we will be happy to assist.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://kb.vimzaa.com/cpanel-hosting/how-can-i-migrate-my-cpanels-to-vimzaa-website-hosting.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
