Migrating a reseller means moving not just one website but potentially many cPanel accounts, DNS zones and mailboxes. Treat it as a project with an inventory and cutover plan.
Step by step
- Inventory every cPanel account owned by the reseller and record domains, disk usage and special DNS/mail requirements.
- Confirm the destination has enough capacity and compatible features.
- Transfer accounts using supported cPanel backup/transfer methods where available.
- Validate websites, databases, email and SSL on the destination before DNS cutover.
- Coordinate nameserver/DNS changes and retain the source until the reseller confirms the migration.
Important
Do not migrate a reseller based only on the WHM username. Missing one downstream account can create a serious customer-impacting incident.
Checks and troubleshooting
For large migrations, move in batches and maintain a checklist showing source, destination, validation and DNS status for each account.
