Export data, clarify domain and DNS control, revoke access and terminate only after the agreed handover or retention period.

Applies to: Reseller migrations, security and support

Migrations, security incidents and account termination can affect customer data. Use written change records, maintain independent backups and confirm authority before destructive actions.

Before you start

  • Sign in with the reseller account rather than a customer SiteWorx login.
  • Identify the affected SiteWorx account, package and domain.
  • Record the current package, DNS and account settings before making a production change.

Step-by-step

  1. Confirm the customer identity, service scope, cancellation date and any unpaid or disputed matters under the reseller’s terms.
  2. Identify who controls the domain, DNS, mail, SSL and external services and provide transfer information where authorised.
  3. Create and verify an export of website files, databases and required email data.
  4. Agree the DNS or migration cutover and keep the account unchanged during final synchronisation.
  5. Revoke customer users, API credentials and shared secrets after handover.
  6. Suspend before termination when a short reversible period is appropriate, then terminate only with recorded approval.
  7. Document the deletion and any retained backup obligations and remove the account from monitoring and billing systems.
