The usernames and passwords of the email accounts on your old provider’s end

Once you have that information at the ready, you can submit a ticket to our technical support team requesting the migration.

After the migration

DNS Changes

After the migration has been completed, you will need to ensure that you update your domain name’s MX records. This will ensure that any new emails are delivered to your new email services.
