#WEBMIN VIRTUALMIN HOW TO#
We are assuming you know how to use the terminal for downloading and installing the files needed to get this baby working. In the end, we will need to update our records with the new Elastic IP address and replace the one used on our old instance.ģ – Login to the new server and install Virtualmin.Īs we said before, Virtualmin is a plugin for Webmin that simplifies the management of your virtual hosts aka your websites. We use AWS for hosting our files, although we totally recommend WP Enginefor your hosting needs. Do this for all your sites and the simplest way is to download it to your computer.Ģ – Launch an AWS Ec2 instance with Webmin installed. When you login to cPanel, go to Backup –> Download a Full Account Backup. Let’s go over the steps we took in moving our sites from one server to another.ġ – Create full backups of all sites hosted on cPanel. There is a pro version of Virtualmin that is a paid service with support, but we opened only a few tickets in the years we used cPanel and don’t expect needing any help. It provides you additional access the same way that WHM does with cPanel. Additionally, Virtualmin is an extra module or extension that makes it easy to automate tasks/processes such as cron jobs or email filtering. We considered a few different web hosting control panels such as Froxlor or Ajenti, but none suited us better than Webmin. Although we’ve heard that some companies were hit with a 200-300% increase in pricing which is insane. We only manage a few sites and our rise in cost was not that heavy. Critical Web Solutions was using cPanel for over 3 years and once we got news of the price increase in 2019, we’ve been looking for alternatives since. They recently rolled out a new account-based pricing structure that no other company in the industry has. We had some small hiccups doing the transfer but it was smooth overall and want others to also be able to make the transition.įor those who don’t know, cPanel is a Web Hosting Control Panel that has been around since 1996.
This post will discuss what we learned moving from cPanel/WHM to Webmin/Virtualmin.
