Domain - choose the new domain - the domain you move Username - important (!) You need to enter the same username that you used with the previous host, for example, if your email is [email protected] then the username must be admin Password - create a new password, no need to be the same as the old password. Storage Space - it should be set to Unlimited. Click + Create to complete the setup.
* If you have multiple emails placed on the old host, repeat the process for each email.
You will see your email in the list.
Done, the new server will be ready to operate with the email set up.

Now we can upload the entire backup of the web to the new host.
