Checklist
Check These Points First
Before Leaving
Download or record important settings from 123 Reg, including DNS, email, database and hosting details.

Provider-Specific Notes
What To Check When Moving From 123 Reg
A 123 Reg move is often domain-led, because many UK businesses originally bought the domain there and later added hosting, email or forwarding. The safest approach is to record the domain owner, registrar lock, nameservers, DNS zone and renewal dates before touching the website.
Domain-Led Move
Confirm the registrant, domain expiry date, transfer lock and current nameservers before planning the hosting move.
Email And Forwarding
Check whether email is using mailboxes, forwarding, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace or another provider before changing DNS.
Website Builder Check
If the current site uses a proprietary builder, confirm whether it can be exported or whether a rebuild is needed.
