You will need to move the SSL too, after moving the hosting service. SSL should be installed on the server where your website is pointing. Once you will move your service to another server and will update the DNS settings of the same server then you will need to reinstall the SSL certificate from the new server.

You will get option under WHM for installing the SSL certificate. You should have SSL certificate with it's associated private key and CA bundle for installation.

Hello Gmeister4, do you use Cloudflare origin certificates ?
Globally, you just have to copy each part of your certificates (Private key + Origin Certificate + Certificate authority) from your current server to the new one. It require only to copy/paste each code.

This way is which I thought but I installed SSL from cPanel, not WHM and used Cloudflare SSL for my website.

Yes I am using Cloudflare origin certificate but copy and pasting SSL certificates is not my first choice, I am looking for a way to backup and restore it, that will easier and faster but seem I didn't see that option in cPanel.

I would recommend first move the CPanel account, put the original nameservers to the domain and reconfigure Cloudflare once they have propagated.
