To move a website backup to a different domain name on cPanel, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your cPanel account.
  2. In the "Files" section, click on the "Backups" icon.
  3. In the "Restore a Backup" section, click on the "Choose File" button and select the backup file that you want to restore.
  4. In the "Restore As" field, enter the name for the restored directory (optional).
  5. In the "Remote MySQL Host" field, enter the hostname or IP address of the remote MySQL server where you want to restore the database.
  6. In the "Remote MySQL User" and "Remote MySQL Password" fields, enter the username and password for the remote MySQL server.
  7. Click on the "Upload" button.

Once the restore process is complete, your website's files and databases will be restored from the backup file to the new domain name. It is important to regularly create and store backups of your website, in case you need to move your site to a new domain name. Restoring a backup on a different domain name is a useful way to migrate your website to a new domain.
