1. Service Direction / Scope
This guide explains how to retrieve your existing hosting account’s cPanel login information so you can transfer your website, email accounts, and files smoothly to iCoreHosting. Clients migrating from another hosting provider must provide valid cPanel access for us to perform a secure and complete migration.
2. Service Transparency
- iCoreHosting can only begin migration once your cPanel URL, username, and password are provided.
- We do not contact your old hosting provider on your behalf.
- Retrieving login details is the client's responsibility unless you authorize access through a support ticket.
- If your current provider uses DirectAdmin, Plesk, or a custom panel instead of cPanel, please inform us for alternative migration options.
3. Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Check Your Welcome Email
Your current hosting provider normally sends a welcome email containing:
- cPanel URL
- Username
- Password
Tip: Search your inbox for “cPanel”, “Welcome”, “Hosting Account”, or your domain name.
Step 2: Log in to Your Hosting Provider Dashboard
If you lost the welcome email, you can usually retrieve the login details from your hosting control panel.
- Login to your hosting provider’s client portal.
- Go to “Manage Hosting”, “Services”, or “cPanel Access”.
- Look for cPanel credentials or a direct login button.
Step 3: Reset Your cPanel Password
If you know your username but forgot the password:
- Open the cPanel login page.
- Click “Forgot Password”.
- Enter your registered email address.
Step 4: Contact Your Current Hosting Provider
If you cannot retrieve the login information, contact their support team.
- Provide your account email or invoice number to verify ownership.
- Ask specifically for your cPanel URL, username, and password.
Important: Some providers require identity verification or your company documents before releasing login details.

We support migrations from DirectAdmin, Plesk, CyberPanel, and custom panels. Provide panel access and we will handle the rest.

Not possible. Only the service owner can request credentials from the old provider.
7. Summary
To migrate to iCoreHosting, you must provide your current cPanel login details. Retrieve them from your welcome email, client portal, password reset link, or by contacting your provider. Once cPanel access is confirmed, our team will begin your migration securely and efficiently.
8. Use Case
A business owner wants to move from their old hosting provider to iCoreHosting. The owner cannot find the welcome email, so they log in to their old hosting dashboard and retrieve the cPanel username and reset the password. They submit the login details to iCoreHosting support, and the migration begins immediately.
