Free cPanel-to-WHP Migrations — Now Available
If you've been following hosting-industry news over the last few weeks, you've likely seen the steady stream of critical cPanel security advisories. In a roughly three-week period, cPanel issued three Technical Security Releases covering nine-plus CVEs, including a CVSS 9.8 pre-authentication bypass that was actively exploited in the wild for two months before a patch existed. cPanel themselves have signaled that customers should expect this cadence to continue.
The headline issues from that window:
- CVE-2026-41940 — CVSS 9.8 pre-auth bypass in cPanel & WHM. Exploited as a zero-day from late February 2026; added to the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog with a federal patching deadline.
- CVE-2026-29202 — CVSS 8.8 remote code execution in the create_user API, patched May 8.
- CVE-2026-29203 — CVSS 8.8 privilege escalation via unsafe symlink handling, patched May 8.
We've been thinking about the long-term direction of cPanel for a while now. The recent advisories have crystallized something we've been feeling: rising licensing costs, a slow pace of meaningful updates, and the growing need to bolt on paid add-on after paid add-on just to reach feature parity with what hosting should include by default.
So we're making it easy to move.
AnHonestHost is now offering free migrations from cPanel to WHP — our custom-built, containerized Web Hosting Platform designed around transparency, honest pricing, and giving you a stronger baseline of features included by default.
What we'll migrate for you, at no cost:
- All website files and databases
- DNS zones and account configurations
- Email accounts, including existing inboxes and folders
- SSL certificates (or fresh ones issued automatically)
- Cron jobs and redirects
A note on email migration: to pull your existing messages over from your current host, we'll need the password for each email address you'd like migrated. There's no way around this — authenticating to the mailbox is the only way to retrieve the mail. We'll collect these securely when you schedule your migration and only use them for the duration of the transfer.
To get started, email support@anhonesthost.com and we'll schedule a migration window that works for you. We handle the technical work; you approve the cutover.
