Email-safe website moves

Protect business email during a website move

Website and nameserver changes can affect incoming mail, forwarding, contact forms, booking notices and account verification. We inspect the current setup, plan the smallest required change and test the result to minimise avoidable disruption.

Free initial review

Free initial email-risk screen

We can review public DNS information, the current website and customer-supplied provider information to identify obvious risks and recommend the next step. The free screen does not include account login, configuration changes, detailed troubleshooting, deliverability testing, device setup or a written technical audit.

What we check

Business email must be protected during a website move.

Business owners should not need to understand DNS records, but the technical provider handling the move must understand what those records protect.

Incoming business email

MX routing, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho, hosted mailboxes and forwarding.

Sender trust

SPF, DKIM and related records that help providers recognise authorised senders.

Website messages

Contact forms, booking notices, notification services and the address that receives enquiries.

A working Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho or similar service normally remains unchanged during a website migration. Recording, preserving and verifying disclosed MX and related DNS records is included in the agreed standard website-migration scope. There is no separate mailbox-migration fee where no mailbox, user, provider or historical-message transfer is required.

Before, during, after

A controlled change

We record the current state, identify which records must remain, make the smallest required DNS change and then test the real website and communication paths.

  1. Record

    Registrar, nameservers, DNS and email provider.

  2. Protect

    Preserve mail, verification and sending records.

  3. Change

    Move only the website-related settings.

  4. Test

    Website, forms, mail flow and key links.

Other email help

Setup, repair or a separate mailbox move

If the current mail setup is unclear or unreliable, we can quote the additional work separately instead of hiding it inside a hosting price.

Keep the existing provider

Preserve Gmail, Outlook, Microsoft 365, Zoho, forwarding or another working setup during a website change. Domains, hosting, email and Google accounts should remain in the customer’s name wherever practical.

New business email setup

Set up one mailbox with one provider on a customer-owned account, including standard MX, SPF, DKIM and required provider verification.

Email diagnosis or repair

Investigate and repair agreed deliverability, DNS or form-delivery issues. The quote confirms the systems, records and testing included.

Mailbox or provider migration. Moving users, mailboxes, providers or historical data is separately quoted. The scope depends on mailbox count, data volume, aliases, shared mailboxes, calendars, contacts, files and device support.

Before anything moves

Tell us how the business receives email.

If you do not know the provider, say “unsure”. We can start with public records and the information on the latest provider bill. Never send a password through the form.
