  Linux is quite dynamic, so definitely possible

  To be clear, you're not going cpanel-to-cpanel, right?

  Yes it can be done, but it'll be manual. At a very high level:

  • create the accounts/domains in cpanel/WHM
  • create whatever MySQL DBs you need in cpanel
  • assuming they're primary domains, copy everything in your html root to the user's public_html
  • backup the databases, copy the MySQL dumps, and then restore them on the new cpanel server
  • modify whatever config in whatever web apps you use (e.g., Wordpress) to point to the new dbs and credentials. There may be other paths, etc. you'll need to change - it really could be anything and presumably you know your apps. Also things like IMG SRC paths, etc. may need to change.

  Exercise caution when handling database names and users ie
  database name in cpanel will be "account_dbname"
  user name will be "account_username"
  relevant changes in scripts using database will be required
