Step 5. Test your site
After completing the database migration and import, you can test your site. The best way to do this is to use a temporary URL. This allows you to access your site even if your domain name does not point to a new server.
To find the temporary URL, log into your account control panel. Then click on "Technical Account Details". Once you enter, there should be a section called Temp. The URL next to which your temporary URL is displayed. All you have to do is just visit this URL and check your website.
Replace "ipaddress" with the IP b2b email list address of your host, and the username should be the one you use to log into your cPanel account. Don't forget the "~" sign in front of it. To find out the IP address of your server, log into cPanel again. Find the "Statistics" tab and click the "Expand statistics" button, which will open additional information, including the IP address of your account shared hosting.
You should now be able to test your website against a temporary URL while you wait or configure your nameservers to point to your old domain.
If your site looks and works as expected, then great! However, be prepared to make some minor corrections and changes if anything goes wrong.
Important to remember
After the entire migration process is complete and you test your website, there are a number of steps you must follow to complete the migration. Keep in mind that these steps are necessary to keep your old visitors from continuing to visit your site and to ensure that your site is performing as planned. So let's get started.
