THE THREE THINGS THAT DETERMINE SUCCESS
Registrar access. Without it, you cannot point the domain. A recorded list of every DNS record. Testing before switching, not after.
WHAT PEOPLE FORGET
Email contents, which do not travel with a website backup Hidden files, particularly .htaccess Cron jobs Verification records for third-party services
THE ORDER THAT WORKS
Record everything Move everything Test with a hosts file entry Then switch DNS
THE MOST COMMON FAILURES
Database prefix, causing a connection error MX records not recreated, stopping mail cPanel email routing set wrongly Cancelling the old hosting too soon
FOR WORDPRESS
Set up a real cron job afterwards. HTTP wp-cron is blocked here. Check the search engine visibility setting. Use a serialisation-aware tool for any URL change.
BEFORE CANCELLING THE OLD HOSTING
Wait a week. Check for email and orders received during propagation.
