How to move a website from one cpanel to another cpanel server

Our requirement is to migrate a full website from old cpanel server to new cpanel server. This has to be done in command prompt.

Follow the steps:

1. Login to the old cpanel server as root.
2. Backup the whole website using the command: /scripts/pkgacct {cpanel_username}
3. It will create the backup in /home folder as /home/cpmove-cpanelusername.tar.gz
4. Copy the backup file to the new server: scp /home/cpmove-cpanelusername.tar.gz root@newserver.com:/home
5. Login the new server as root.
6. Verify the size of the backup files.
7. It's the time to restore the backup in new server: /scripts/restorepkg {cpanel_username}
8. This will help to re-create everything from old server to the new server.
9. Test and verify, then go ahead in changing the DNS.
