This guide shows you how to merge cPanel accounts by moving the site\u2019s files, email folders, and MySQL database into the destination account, then removing the old account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The example moves <code>example.net<\/code> from the account <code>exampl2<\/code> into the account <code>exampl1<\/code>, which already hosts <code>example.com<\/code>. Replace these names with your own. The site runs WordPress, so the database moves too. The steps use cPanel and WHM version 138 with the Jupiter theme. Repeat the process for each additional account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-info wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> This guide uses WebHost Manager (WHM), so it applies to InMotion Hosting VPS and Dedicated Server plans, where one server can hold several cPanel accounts. On those plans, cPanel licenses are priced by the number of cPanel accounts on the server. See <a href=\"\/support\/edu\/cpanel\/cpanel-pricing-structure\/\">cPanel License Pricing Explained for Every Hosting Plan<\/a> for details. If you have root access and prefer the command line, use <a href=\"\/support\/edu\/cpanel\/merge-multiple-cpanel-accounts-into-one-account-using-ssh\/\">Merge Multiple cPanel Accounts into One Account Using SSH<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-danger wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Warning:<\/strong> Moving a WordPress site can change how its security plugins behave. Deactivate those plugins before you start, then reactivate and reconfigure them on the new account when you finish. Keep the old account until you confirm the moved site works, because termination is permanent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What You Need Before You Merge cPanel Accounts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A VPS or Dedicated Server plan with WebHost Manager (WHM) access. See <a href=\"\/support\/edu\/whm\/log-into-whm\/\">How to Log in to WebHost Manager (WHM)<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The cPanel logins for the old account and the destination account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An FTP client such as FileZilla. See <a href=\"\/support\/website\/ftp\/configuring-your-site-in-filezilla\/\">How to Setup FTP with FileZilla<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Back Up the Site\u2019s Files Over FTP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Download the site\u2019s files first so you have a complete copy to upload later. Connect with the old account\u2019s own username (<code>exampl2<\/code> in this example), not the destination account\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list article_list\">\n<li>Connect to the old account in FileZilla.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create a new folder on your computer for the backup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the server pane, hold <strong>Ctrl<\/strong> and click the <code>etc<\/code>, <code>mail<\/code>, and <code>public_html<\/code> directories.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drag the three selected directories into the new local folder.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/website_cpanel_cpanel-merge_filezilla-drag-etc-mail-and-public-html-1024x663.png\" alt=\"FileZilla with the etc, mail, and public_html directories selected on the server side and dragged to a local backup folder\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your files are safe on your computer. The database lives somewhere else, so export it next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Download the Database Backup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordPress keeps its posts, pages, and settings in a database, not in the files you just copied. Export that database from the old account\u2019s cPanel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list article_list\">\n<li>Log in to the old account\u2019s cPanel. See <a href=\"\/support\/edu\/cpanel\/how-to-log-into-cpanel\/\">How to Log into cPanel<\/a> if you need help.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the <strong>Files<\/strong> section, click <strong>Backup<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/merge-cpanel-01-backup-icon.png\" alt=\"The Backup icon in the Files section of the cPanel home page in the Jupiter theme\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list article_list\">\n<li>Under <strong>Download a Database Backup<\/strong>, click the database name, for example <code>exampl2_wp1<\/code>.

Next comes the step that makes the whole merge possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Rename the Old Account\u2019s Primary Domain in WHM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The destination account needs to add <code>example.net<\/code>, but the old account still uses it as its primary domain. Giving the old account a temporary primary domain frees <code>example.net<\/code> for Step 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list article_list\">\n<li>Log in to WHM.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the <strong>Search Tools (Ctrl \/)<\/strong> box in the left navigation, type <code>modify<\/code>, then click <strong>Modify an Account<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/merge-cpanel-03-whm-modify-an-account.png\" alt=\"The WHM Search Tools box in the left navigation with modify typed and Modify an Account in the results\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list article_list\">\n<li>If the server has more than one account, WHM lists them first.

If the server has only one account, WHM opens its form directly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the <strong>Primary Domain<\/strong> field, add a temporary suffix. For example, change <code>example.net<\/code> to <code>example-temp.net<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scroll to the bottom of the page and click <strong>Save<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/merge-cpanel-04-whm-modify-primary-domain.png\" alt=\"The WHM Modify an Account form with the Primary Domain field changed to a temporary name\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The real domain name is free. Open the destination account to claim it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Create the Domain on the Destination Account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Current versions of cPanel no longer have an Addon Domains icon. You add domains from the <strong>Domains<\/strong> interface instead. For more on adding domains, see <a href=\"\/support\/edu\/cpanel\/addon-domains-in-cpanel\/\">How to Add Addon Domains in cPanel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list article_list\">\n<li>In the WHM <strong>Search Tools (Ctrl \/)<\/strong> box, type <code>list<\/code>, then click <strong>List Accounts<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find the destination account (<code>exampl1<\/code>).

This is the folder that holds the domain\u2019s website files. cPanel fills in the domain name, which puts the folder at <code>\/home\/exampl1\/example.net<\/code>, beside <code>public_html<\/code> rather than inside it. Keep it, or enter a folder under <code>public_html<\/code> (such as <code>public_html\/example.net<\/code>) if you prefer.

Fill it with your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Upload the Files<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upload the folders you saved in Step 1 to the destination account. Connect with the destination account\u2019s username (<code>exampl1<\/code>). If the old account had email accounts for <code>example.net<\/code>, their data is in two folders: <code>etc\/example.net<\/code> and <code>mail\/example.net<\/code>, which holds the mailboxes. If it had no email accounts, skip to item 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list article_list\">\n<li>In both FileZilla panes, open the <code>etc<\/code> directory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drag the <code>example.net<\/code> directory from your computer to the server\u2019s <code>etc<\/code> directory.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/website_cpanel_cpanel-merge_filezilla-drag-etc-from-local.png\" alt=\"FileZilla with the example.net directory being dragged from the local etc folder to the server's etc folder\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list article_list\">\n<li>In both panes, open the <code>mail<\/code> directory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drag the <code>example.net<\/code> directory from your computer to the server\u2019s <code>mail<\/code> directory.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/website_cpanel_cpanel-merge_filezilla-drag-mail-from-local.png\" alt=\"FileZilla with the example.net directory being dragged from the local mail folder to the server's mail folder\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ol start=\"5\" class=\"wp-block-list article_list\">\n<li>On your computer, open <code>public_html<\/code>.

Build its replacement next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6: Create the New Database and User<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">cPanel starts every database and database user name with a prefix based on the account\u2019s username. A database created under <code>exampl1<\/code> is named <code>exampl1_<\/code> followed by a name you choose, so the old <code>exampl2_wp1<\/code> name cannot carry over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list article_list\">\n<li>Log in to the destination account\u2019s cPanel (<code>exampl1<\/code>).

The <code>exampl1<\/code> account already has a database named <code>exampl1_wp1<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Next Step<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the next screen, enter <code>wp2<\/code> in the <strong>Username<\/strong> field. This creates the user <code>exampl1_wp2<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter and confirm a strong password, and store it in a password manager. You need it in Step 8.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Create User<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>ALL PRIVILEGES<\/strong> so the user can manage the database, then click <strong>Next Step<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Return Home<\/strong> to go back to the cPanel home page.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You now have an empty database with a user attached. Fill it with the backup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 7: Import the Database in phpMyAdmin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">phpMyAdmin reads the compressed <code>.gz<\/code> file you downloaded in Step 2 and rebuilds every table inside the new database.

The site\u2019s configuration file still names the old database, so fix that now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 8: Update wp-config.php<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordPress reads its database name, user, and password from <code>wp-config.php<\/code>.
