The post-move checklist.
IMMEDIATELY
Does the site load? Do all pages work? Do images display? Does the checkout complete, if applicable?
CONFIGURATION
Database credentials, with the correct cPanel prefix Site address settings File permissions
Accounts recreated MX records correct Sending and receiving tested SPF, DKIM and DMARC recreated
That last point: authentication records do not travel automatically.
DOMAIN AND CERTIFICATES
Nameservers updated AutoSSL run HTTPS working across the site HTTP redirecting to HTTPS
SEARCH
The search engine visibility setting is off Robots.txt is correct, not one carried from development The sitemap regenerated
That first one is the most damaging thing to miss.
OTHER
Cron jobs recreated Scheduled tasks working Forms delivering Backups configured
BEFORE CANCELLING THE OLD HOSTING
Wait a week and confirm everything works.
