anyways, I want to transfer my IPB cloud hosting to a licensed version that I can host on a NFO webserver, they told me this:
Yes, that's easy to do and quite a few of our customers have done so. You would not lose any content.
The process is a little detailed, but not difficult.
First you'd purchase a license for IP.Board, plus any of the Addons (Blog, Gallery, etc) that you want to take with you.
Then we'd set your site offline with a "We're Moving!" message, remove the Addons you haven't bought, replace the encoded files used on our hosting with their un-encoded equivalents, then make a "cPanel Full Account Backup" for you (or your new Host) to download with a direct URL.
That backup can be imported in one operation by any host that uses WHM/cPanel server, as we do. Once imported, you may need to adjust the conf_global.php file for the URL used, and the system settings as needed, but that's it.
so I guess I need to know if I can install WHM or cPanel and if so how to do so
