With cPanel announcing recurring licensing price adjustments year after year, many agencies and developers are looking for clean exit paths. In this practical guide, we cover the exact migration pipeline to transfer your workloads to a modern Linux VPS running BoltPane. ### Step 1: Spin Up Your Target Server Provision a clean Ubuntu 24.04 LTS or Debian 12 instance on your preferred cloud provider (Hetzner, Vultr, AWS, or DigitalOcean). ### Step 2: Install BoltPane Run the official one-line installation script: ```bash curl -sSL https://get.boltpane.com/install.sh | bash ``` The installer automatically configures Nginx, MariaDB, Redis, and firewall defaults in under 3 minutes. ### Step 3: Use the BoltPane Migration Wizard BoltPane features a dedicated site import tool. Simply provide your cPanel SSH or SFTP credentials, and BoltPane will: - Stream public_html files directly to your target directory. - Export and import the MySQL database dump. - Re-issue a fresh Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. - Test your site before you update DNS records. Then point DNS when the site answers.
