If you have access to the backups:

github.com

hestiacp/hestiacp/blob/main/bin/v-import-cpanel

#!/bin/bash
# info: Import Cpanel backup to a new user
# options: BACKUP [MX]
#
# example: v-import-cpanel /backup/backup.tar.gz yes

# Known issue
# - Importing certificates fails at the moment. Due to format changes of CPanel side
# - It doesn't update DKIM

# shellcheck source=/usr/local/hestia/func/main.sh
source $HESTIA/func/main.sh
# shellcheck source=/etc/hestiacp/hestia.conf
source /etc/hestiacp/hestia.conf
# load config file
source_conf "$HESTIA/conf/hestia.conf"

Do i need to put any ports in the destination server?

Same query. I have my cPanel and one separate user already created on HCP. The cPanel one is a separate user with 20+GB of years and years of emails + blogs + stuff. Do I need to ensure anything beforehand please?

No.

If you use Cloudflare for DNS just change after import is complete.

If you use DNS from Cpanel make sure to to the new server if it changes…
