robev Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I don't know if this is automatic but I got my email asking if I want to move to plesk. After the cpanel issue I moved my account from Tommy to a paid VPS with Hestia, and I'd like to move back to Tommy/Plesk and stop paying for the VPS. I clicked the transfer link in the email. https://robbiewolfe.heliohost.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolstech Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 You're the first VPS to ask on the forum about moving back. Lets see what Krydos says about how to do this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krydos Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Clicking the link in the email will move your old Tommy cPanel account onto the new Plesk Tommy. Any changes that you've made to your website since you got the VPS will have to be reapplied to your new Plesk account. When you have everything you need from your VPS backed up let us know and we can shut it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robev Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 How do I back it up? Manually download from ftp? I think the main difference is my blog's WordPress database needs to be transferred over and the files I uploaded over the past few months. Not much else.

yashrs Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 @robev, you can backup by using ssh, zip the folder and transfer the files. You can then generate a mysql (.sql file) dump using phpmyadmin, and import it to Plesk's mysql. Alternatively, you can use any wordpress extension to transfer the website as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robev Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 Thank you. Sorry, I've been really busy lately. I'll let you know when I've backed up the VPS files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
