    Hosting & Server

    • Current host login - Where your site lives now.
    • FTP/SFTP credentials - To transfer files.
    • SSH access - If your site runs on a server with command-line access.

    Database

    • Database login - Username, password, and database name.
    • phpMyAdmin (or similar) - To export and import data.

    Domain & DNS

    • Domain registrar login - Where your domain is registered.
    • DNS settings - To point your domain to the new site.

    Website Admin

    • CMS login - WordPress, Shopify, or whatever you use.
    • Plugin/theme licenses - If you have paid ones.

    Email & Services

    • Email provider login - If emails are tied to your current host.
    • CDN login - If you use Cloudflare or a similar service.
    • Analytics login - Google Analytics, Search Console, etc.

    Why It Matters?

    Not having the right credentials can delay the migration, break things, or even lose data.
