To move an addon domain from one cPanel to another:
- Download the content of your addon domain to your local PC.
- Backup any associated database(s).
- Create a subfolder inside the new cPanel’s public_html folder.
- Upload the content of your addon domain to this new folder.
- Restore the database backup(s) into the new cPanel.
- If the old cPanel and new cPanel are on the same server, go back to the old cPanel and remove the addon domain from under the Addon Domains icon. Note: The original content or original databases do not need to be deleted.
- Go to the new cPanel.
- Click the Addon Domains icon.
- Enter the addon domain name where it says New Domain Name.
- For the Document Root, you must enter /public_html/subfolder/ (replace ‘subfolder’ with the name you chose in step 3).
- Fill out the remainder of the form and click the Add Domain button.
- If the old cPanel and new cPanel are on different servers, then you will need to update your addon domain name’s nameservers or other DNS records.
