   Root Password: The password for the other server’s root user.
3. After entering the server information, scroll down and choose Plesk as the Remote Server Type.

5. Select the websites we want to move to the server after the scan is finished. Click “Copy” to begin the migration after choosing the items we want to move.
6. A new page will appear when the migration is finished, indicating that the data transfer and account restoration to the server have both been completed.
7. The account we just transferred will be visible when we visit the “List Accounts” page in WHM after the migration.
8. Finally, the migration of Plesk to cPanel finishes once the progress bars for the transfer and restoration reach 100%.

We can also check under the List accounts menu in WHM to check that the selected accounts have been migrated. We can test the websites using a host file change before changing the DNS to point to the new server.
