Migration process

Transfer domain name

• In this step, you initiate and complete the transfer of your domain name from your old to your new provider. The actions to follow in this step depend on the domain transfer procedures followed by your providers.

Warning

Some providers may change or block access to your source account once you transfer your domain to another provider. Please check with your provider.

Create destination mailbox at new provider

Once your domain name is transferred to your new provider, you'll need to create a new, empty mailbox at your destination provider.

Once you signed up for a new mailbox, note down the email address, the login name (which might be the same as the email address) and the password.

Migrate emails from your old mailbox into your new mailbox

You can now copy the existing emails from your old email account into your new account.

Please have the following information for both - source and destination account - at hand:

• Name of the provider and name of your email product
• You're now ready to migrate your data - visit Migrate now

Configure your email client applications

You can send and receive email with your new email account either using the webmail interface offered by your new provider, or by using an email client application.

Note

While you can configure your email client application at any time after your new email account is available, we recommend that you do so only after the email migration has finished.
