Your migration is complete – welcome to PAC. Here’s a quick checklist to make sure everything is working as it should.
Your website
- Browse your website, including your main pages, images and any online shop.
- Test your contact forms, and check the messages arrive.
- Check the padlock shows in your browser. Free SSL certificates are included with your hosting.
- Log in to your website’s admin area, for example WordPress, to check it works.
Your email
- Send and receive a test message from each mailbox, for example using webmail.
- Update your email apps on your phone and computer if needed – see our email settings reference and device guides.
- If something isn’t working, try our email troubleshooting guide.
Security
- Change the passwords for any logins you shared with us for the migration, such as your old control panel.
- Turn on two-factor authentication for your PAC logins – see how to enable 2FA for your login.
When to cancel your old hosting
Once you’re happy everything is working at PAC, and at least a couple of days have passed since your domain was switched over, it’s safe to cancel your old hosting. Before you do:
- Check your old account is no longer receiving email, and that you’ve kept anything you need from it.
- Don’t cancel the domain itself if it’s still registered with your old provider – only the hosting. If you’d like to move the domain to us as well, see how to transfer a domain to PAC Web Hosting.
Your new hosting includes automatic backups, kept for 30 days, so your website and email are protected from day one.
Anything not quite right? Please open a support ticket and we’ll sort it out. We’d rather hear about it straight away.
