Why Migrate From cPanel to Google Workspace?

Many businesses make the switch because Google Workspace offers:

Better uptime and almost zero email delivery issues

Powerful collaboration tools like Drive, Docs, Meet, Sheets

Enhanced security, 2-step verification, and mobile-friendly access

Easy scalability as your team grows

If your business has outgrown the limitations of cPanel email or you’re ready for more integrated tools, migrating is a smart long-term move.

Step-by-Step Migration Guide

Step 1: Prepare Your Domain & DNS

Before migrating, make sure:

Your domain DNS is accessible (through your domain provider or hosting panel).

You have login access to cPanel.

You know which email accounts you'll be moving.

If you're planning a new domain, remember to compare domain prices with different providers to get the best long-term value.

Step 2: Set Up Google Workspace

Sign up for a Google Workspace plan that fits your budget.

Create your primary admin account.

Add your domain name for verification.

Since you’re switching from cPanel, aim for a plan that gives enough storage and user capacity without overspending. Many businesses choose a reseller plan for flexibility and cost savings.

Step 3: Verify Your Domain in Google Admin Console

Google will give you a verification TXT record.

Log in to cPanel → Zone Editor

Add the TXT record

Wait for DNS propagation (usually 5–15 minutes)

Once verified, your Google Workspace account is active.

Step 4: Add Users and Create Mailboxes

Create mailboxes in Google Workspace that correspond to your existing cPanel accounts. Be sure account names match (e.g., info@, sales@, support@) to ensure a smooth migration.

Step 5: Enable IMAP & Collect cPanel Credentials

In cPanel:

Open Email Accounts

Select each mailbox → Connect Devices

Note the IMAP server, username, and password

This information is required for Gmail’s data migration tool.

Step 6: Use Google Workspace Data Migration Tool

Google provides a built-in IMAP migration tool that makes moving emails simple.

Go to Admin Console → Data Migration

Choose Email → IMAP Server

Enter your cPanel IMAP details

Select the user you’re migrating to

Start migration

Google will migrate all emails in the background while you continue working.

Step 7: Update Your MX Records

To route new emails to Google Workspace:

Go to cPanel → Zone Editor

Delete old MX records

Add Google’s MX records:

ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM (Priority 1)

ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM (Priority 5)

ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM (Priority 5)

ALT3.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM (Priority 10)

ALT4.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM (Priority 10)

Within minutes to a few hours, all new mail will start arriving in Gmail.

Step 8: Test Everything

Send and receive test emails

Check folders and labels

Confirm all users can log in

Make sure contacts & calendars (if exported) are imported properly

Once everything checks out, your migration is complete.
