# Importing and Restoring a cPanel Account into Enhance

*A step-by-step guide for resellers migrating customer accounts from cPanel to Enhance.*

Importing your cPanel account into Enhance is straightforward and gives you the ability to perform your own account restorations without needing to rely on support staff. This is especially useful for accounts that need to be restored on a tight timeline.

> [!WARNING]
>
> **Important:** Do not create the domain or website account for the account you are importing before starting this process — doing so will cause issues.

# **Step 1: Create the customer account**

Log into your Enhance account and create the customer's account

# **Step 2: Go to Import Website**

After the customer is created, head over to Websites > Import Website.

# **Step 9: Assign the website to the customer**

After importing the website, the last and most important step is assigning the website to the customer. Click Websites to see your list of websites, click the three dots on the far right of the imported site, select Transfer ownership, and then select your new customer as the owner of the account.
