Getting Started with Hover After a Migration

Welcome to Hover! If your domain or email services moved to Hover after your previous provider joined Hover or as part of a service migration, use this quick checklist to get your account ready and help prevent interruptions.

Before you begin

Have the following ready:

• Access to the primary email address associated with your account
• Your Hover welcome or migration email, if you received one
• A current payment method

Your Hover onboarding checklist

• Sign in to Hover for the first time
  Visit the Hover sign-in guide and follow the password-reset steps. If you do not know your Hover username, request a username reminder first. Use the primary email address associated with your account.
• Add or confirm your payment method
  Follow Manage Payment Methods and Billing to add a card, PayPal, or Apple Pay, or to confirm that your existing billing information is current. An up-to-date payment method is required for automatic renewals to succeed.
• Review your domain registration records
  Use Update Domain Registration Records in Hover to check the Owner contacts for each domain. Make sure the names, organization, phone numbers, and email addresses are accurate.
  When possible, use a contact email address that does not depend on the domain itself. This helps ensure you can still receive important notices if the domain or its email service is unavailable.
  Note: Changing the Owner's name, organization, or email address may trigger a verification process or a 60-day transfer lock.
• Confirm that auto-renew is enabled
  Follow Manage Auto-Renew for Hover Domains and Email to review the renewal setting for each domain and email subscription. Turn on auto-renew for any service you want to keep active, and confirm that the payment method on your account is current.

You're all set

After completing the checklist, you can manage your domains, email services, billing, and account settings from the Hover control panel.
