Moving an entire website (InMotion, cPanel) over to Lightsail

Question

Hi all,

So I'm fairly tech savvy but AWS feels like a whole different ball game to me and I'd really appreciate if someone could explain like I'm 5 how I move my entire website (this includes several subdomains) over from cPanel through InMotion hosting over to Lightsail and set it all up. The majority of the sites are Wordpress but I do have a Craft CMS subdomain which hosts a custom built platform.
Also, can I install cPanel on Lightsail?

Thanks a lot

You can surely install cpanel but it will be an overhead as Lightsail is kids of cpanel service. I will suggest rearchitecting and finding out if you want to have the cms on different light sails and decide your migration strategy.
