Copy or Duplicate Cpanel Account to New Domain


In WHM, you can restore a full backup as a duplicate of an existing account.

Three simple steps to duplicate a cPanel account into another domain.

1. Make a full cPanel backup of the first account. Log in as root and execute the command below. You can

#>  /scripts/pkgacct cpanel_user

****** This will be saved in /home/cpmove-cpanel_user.tar.gz

2. Change the domain and username of the first account. This will become the new or duplicate account.

Go to WHM ->> Account Functions ->> Modify an Account

Select the account/domain to copy. Enter or replace username and domain with the new/second domain.

3. Restore the cPanel backup of the first account (created in step #1 above), and you now have both duplicate accounts.

#>  /scripts/restorepkg cpanel_user /home/cpmove-cpaneluser.tar.gz

****** This will restore the account from cPanel backup in the home directory
