Hello,
I would like to migrate all my websites that are currently in Spanel to VirtualMin. I tried to perform full backup of Spanel and then import it via CPANEL migration tool in VirtualMin, but unfortunately it doesn’t work? Can someone give me an idea how to migrate the sites easily?
Thank you in advance!

We currently don’t support SPanel migrations. I don’t think @Jamie’s even heard of SPanel before—neither had I.
That said, moving sites isn’t that hard. Just back up the key parts—mainly the database and the contents of public_html. Then spin up a new Virtualmin instance on a Grade A system, and install it using our install script.
Once it’s up, log in to Virtualmin, create the domains with the features you need, manually restore the database dump, copy the files and at last change DNS to point to your new server.
Helpful tools for this manual process would be “Limits and Validation → Validate Virtual Servers / Fix Permissions”, “File Manager”, and “Terminal”.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Hello Ilia,
Thank you for your quick response! I tried this way with coping the files, but it is not very clear for me how to import the database properly in to the virtualmin.
Have a look at “Virtualmin / Edit Databases” page. There is a way to create a database, and then import data into it by executing SQL.
It sounds like your server skill set is a bit thin at this point and you may want to consider getting some help. There are people here that can help you, there is a section for asking. I know some will give you a good explanation so you have a good handle on the process going forward.
No that’s a new one for me!
Never heard of it.
But, you should never expect a migration tool for one control panel to work for a completely unrelated one. They all have wildly different backup formats, and the accounts and sites and data often need various kinds of munging to be made to fit into a Virtualmin environment.
I list all of the major panels here.
There might be a chance it uses the cPanel backup format.
That’s pretty funny—we are, Virtualmin, aren’t even a hosting company! 
I think this refers to who this should be sold to.
