How to Migrate to Vanta Panel
Moving to Vanta Panel from another hosting control panel is more straightforward than most people expect. This guide walks through the key steps.
Before you start
Make sure you have:
- A fresh VPS running Ubuntu
- Root or sudo access
- A backup of your existing site data
Step 1 — Install Vanta Panel
On your new server, run:
curl -fsSL https://get.vantapanel.com | sudo bash
Step 2 — Recreate your accounts
In vWHM, create a hosting account for each site you are migrating. Each account gets its own Linux user, quota and limits.
Step 3 — Move your files and databases
Copy your website files into each account, and import your databases. Vanta Panel supports the standard tools you already know.
Step 4 — Point DNS and issue SSL
Update your DNS to the new server. Once it resolves, Vanta Panel issues free Let's Encrypt SSL automatically and enforces HTTPS.
Tip: migrate one low-traffic site first to get comfortable with the workflow before moving everything.
