How do I move my website to another host without losing files or emails?

Before moving, save separate copies of your website files, database and emails, if your current provider hosts them. Record your DNS settings and identify the services you need to keep, including email. Do not close your old account before checking the transfer.

Copy the website to the new hosting account and test it before changing DNS, using an available preview method. Check forms, login and orders if you run an online shop. If your site receives new data, plan a final synchronisation. After the change, monitor both your website and email; DNS updates do not reach every visitor immediately.
