Important Notes

  • Do not cancel your IONOS account after the migration. IONOS are still the registrars of your domain and this needs to stay the same.
  • If you are paying for any specific email services with IONOS these can be cancelled.
  • Most users are paying IONOS for a webhosting account so this will stay the same.
  • If your website is hosted with IONOS this will not change.
