Server Migration — Complete Guide​

Panelica includes built-in server migration tools to transfer your websites, databases, email accounts, and configurations from other hosting panels or servers.

How Migration Works​

Panelica's migration system follows an 11-step pipeline:

  1. Connect — SSH connection to the source server
  2. Detect — Automatically identifies the source panel type
  3. Discover — Scans all sites, databases, and email accounts
  4. Select — Choose which sites to migrate
  5. Create Users — Sets up system accounts on the target
  6. Create Domains — Configures web server and DNS
  7. Transfer Files — Syncs website files with progress tracking
  8. Import Databases — Transfers MySQL databases with user credentials
  9. Import Email — Migrates mailboxes and configurations
  10. SSL Setup — Issues new certificates or transfers existing ones
  11. Verify — Health check with automatic rollback on failure

All progress is tracked in real-time with live logging.

Supported Source Panels​

Panelica-to-Panelica (Full Support)
The most comprehensive migration path. Uses Panelica's External API for secure, automated transfer. MySQL credentials are preserved — your applications continue working without any configuration changes. See the detailed Panelica migration guide.

cPanel / WHM (Basic Support)
  • Website files via rsync
  • MySQL databases with user/grant preservation
  • Email account migration
  • DNS record transfer
  • Some cPanel-specific configurations may require manual adjustment

Plesk (Basic Support)
  • Website files and database transfer
  • Email migration
  • DNS configuration
  • Plesk extensions and custom configurations may need manual setup

Other Panels
Panelica can migrate from CyberPanel, HestiaCP, DirectAdmin, and raw servers:
  • CyberPanel — OpenLiteSpeed sites, MySQL, email
  • HestiaCP — Nginx/Apache sites, databases, mail
  • DirectAdmin — User accounts, domains, databases
  • Raw Server — Direct filesystem transfer for non-panel servers

Before You Migrate​

  • Ensure your target Panelica server has enough disk space
  • Back up your source server before starting
  • Lower DNS TTL values 24-48 hours before migration
  • Test the migration with a single site first
