Important Notes
- Do not cancel your 123-Reg account after the migration. 123-Reg are still the registrars of your domain and this needs to stay the same.
- If you are paying for any specific email services with 123-Reg these can be cancelled.
- Most users are paying 123-Reg for a webhosting account so this will stay the same.
- If your website is hosted with 123-Reg this will not change.
