How to Prepare for a Domain or Email Move
Confirm Who Owns Your Domain
Look up who is listed as the registrant for your domain. It should be your business, not a former web designer or an employee who has since left.
If the domain is in someone else’s name, sort that out first. Whoever controls the domain controls your website and your email.
Make a List Before Anything Moves
- Every mailbox in use, and who uses it
- Aliases and forwards, such as info@ sending to an owner
- Shared inboxes that more than one person checks
- Old addresses you want to keep for receiving mail
- The login for your current registrar and email provider
How a Move Works
Your domain’s DNS records tell the internet where to deliver mail and where your website lives. The MX record handles incoming mail. SPF and DKIM records tell other mail servers which systems are allowed to send as your domain.
During a move we set up the new mailboxes, then update those records. Mail stored in the old account is copied over, and each device is reconnected with the new settings.
If a tool like your website form, invoicing software or email marketing platform sends mail as your domain, it needs to be included in your SPF and DKIM records too. Otherwise those messages can land in spam.
Common Domain Mistakes
The most costly is letting a domain expire because the renewal notice went to an old address. Keep the contact email on your domain account current, and turn on auto-renew where you can.
Another is having your domain at one company, DNS at a second and email at a third, with no one sure who manages what. Consolidating gives you one team to call when something goes wrong.
Who This Is a Good Fit For
This service suits small and mid-sized businesses that want email at their own domain without managing servers. If we also host your website, email accounts are included with our managed WordPress hosting.
