You can only have multiple cPanel accounts on a VPS or dedicated server plan. So if you\u2019re looking at downgrading to shared hosting, or simply would like the convenience of managing multiple sites from one cPanel account this would be the guide for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For our example we have two cPanel accounts, <strong>userna1<\/strong> with the domain name <strong>PrimaryDomain.com<\/strong>, and <strong>userna2<\/strong> with the domain name <strong>AddonDomain.com<\/strong>. We\u2019re going to take the <strong>AddonDomain.com<\/strong> domain and merge it into the <strong>userna1<\/strong> cPanel account so that both of these domains can be managed from the single cPanel login going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>AddonDomain.com<\/strong> site has a WordPress install on it, so we\u2019ll need to ensure that we grab a copy of the MySQL database, and also ensure that we are updating the database credentials in any scripts once the files have been moved over to the <strong>userna1<\/strong>\u00a0account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-info\">cPanel creation is no longer unlimited. Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/cpanel\/cpanel-pricing-structure\/\">cPanel Pricing Changes<\/a> and <a href=\" https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/cpanel-edu\/cpanel-pricing-changes-faq\">related FAQs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>To follow along with these steps you\u2019ll need <a href=\"\/support\/server\/ssh\/root-access-faq\/\">root access<\/a> to your server. If you do not have root access then you\u2019ll want to follow along with our more basic article on <a href=\"\/support\/edu\/cpanel\/how-do-i-merge-multiple-cpanel-accounts-into-one\/\">how to merge multiple cPanel accounts into one.<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"article_list\">\n<li><a href=\"\/support\/server\/ssh\/how-to-login-ssh\/\">Login to your server via SSH<\/a> as the <strong>root<\/strong> user.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll want to find the document root for our <strong>AddonDomain.com<\/strong> domain then change to that directory with these commands: &lt;code\u201d&gt;grep addondomain.com \/etc\/userdatadomains &lt;\/code\u201d&gt;\n<p>Which should give back:<\/p>\n<p><code>addondomain.com: userna2==root==main==addondomain.com==\/home\/userna2\/public_html==70.39.151.52:80==<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Next change to the directory in-between the <strong>==\u2019s<\/strong> with:<\/p>\n<p><code>cd \/home\/userna2\/public_html<\/code><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>Next we\u2019ll want to look for any database configuration files. This can be accomplished by looking for the username followed by an underscore <strong>_<\/strong> using the following command: <code>grep userna2_ . -RH<\/code>\n<p>Which should spit back:<\/p>\n<p><code>.\/wp-config.php:define('DB_NAME', 'userna2_wrdp1');<br>\n.\/wp-config.php:define('DB_USER', 'userna2_wrdp1');<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Now we can see because this is using a <strong>wp-config.php<\/strong> script that these are the database credentials for a WordPress site. You\u2019ll want to open up this file with your favorite text-editor and copy down the values for <strong>DB_NAME<\/strong>, <strong>DB_USER<\/strong>, and <strong>DB_PASSWORD<\/strong> for use later.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>Now that we know the database name we can backup that database using the following command: <code>mysqldump userna2_wrdp1 &gt; ~userna2\/userna2_wrdp1.sql<\/code><\/li>\n<li>Now you\u2019ll want to start copying over all of the data from the <strong>userna2<\/strong> account to the userna1 account using the following commands: <code>cp -frp ~userna2\/etc\/addondomain.com ~userna1\/etc\/<\/code>\n<p><code>cp -frp ~userna2\/mail\/addondomain.com ~userna1\/mail\/<\/code><\/p>\n<p><code>cp -frp ~userna2\/mail\/.*@addondomain_com ~userna1\/mail\/<\/code><\/p>\n<p><code>cp -frp ~userna2\/public_html ~userna1\/public_html\/addondomain.com<\/code><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>Next we\u2019ll want to temporarily modify our <strong>AddonDomain.com<\/strong> domain so that we can add it to our <strong>userna1<\/strong> cPanel account.
