This is roughly the sequence.
It may differ depending on the system on your old hosting, depending on the site itself, its CMS, whether a database is used or not, etc.
- If this is the first (main) domain on our hosting, then it has already been added to the system, and you do not need to add it additionally. All files for the main domain are uploaded to the /public_html/ folder on the server.
If you want to make and transfer an additional website to us, then add the domain you want to transfer to your CPanel account on our hosting as an Additional Domain. - You download all the files from the old hosting (it’s convenient if, through the file manager, you can archive all the site files and download them in one file).
- Download the database from the old hosting (if the old site used it)
This is done either in the "Backup" section or through PhpMyAdmin in the old control panel.
(done like Export. The result is a text file with a database, extension .sql or Archive with this file.) - Upload the archive of files to the appropriate folder for the new domain on our server. (/public_html/ if this is your main domain, or in the newly created folder that was created when adding an Additional Domain)
Unzip the archive using a file manager.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvfe1IYS444 - If the old site used a database
Login to our CPanel, create a new database AND database user (with password) - Go to our CPanel in PhpMyAdmin and do it there
import the .sql file that you exported earlier on the old hosting. - In the settings of the migrated file, usually in a configuration file, for example "wp-config.php"
indicate the database name, database user, and password that you created in step No. 5 - When registering a domain, change your DNS settings and configure your domain on our DNS.
ns1.s0avahost.net
ns2.s0avahost.net
That's it, the site has been transferred and in a couple of hours it should completely move to our server.
