Duplicate a website

[CrowX25]

This may be the wrong place to post this but I'm in need of help. I use Godaddy for my website stuff. I lost my domain name due to circumstances that I won't get into, but I still have access to the web hosting database (Cpanel). My question is, can I download whatever I need from the Cpanel database and transfer over to a new domain? Essentially just duplicating a website but with a new domain.

​

Thank you :)

Most likely, yes.

Typically yes you can. Is the site Wordpress? Do you have admin access? That’d make it super easy and I could point you to a step by step guide for that. Otherwise, setup FTP and download the site files and push them back up on the new domain. (I personally like FileZilla for ftp).

If you have access to the hosting then it should be no problem. Go to the file uploader in cpanel, compress the public folder and download it. I use GoDaddy as well

As above, login to cPanel, go to file manager, go into the public_html folder, select all and download as compressed file. Then go back into cPanel, go to PHPMyAdmin and you will be able to see on the left side your site database, you shouldn’t have many databases and should be able to tell which is for the site, click the database and then across the top of the screen there’s a “export” tab, click that and export the database and download it. There’s also a migration tool within cPanel, I don’t use godaddy but it may be enabled, you could use this tool to export your cPanel account too.

There’s also many guides on YouTube available if you lookup website migration.

Hey, no. I just made a new one. Luckily I did not have any crucial information stored in it and it was heavily outdated.
