Sometimes we open an account for you and set it up before you sign in — most often when we move your websites to us. You then receive an invitation by email to become the account's owner.
What our team can do before you join
While nobody has joined the account yet, our team can be given setup access to it. Setup access lets us do the work of the move and nothing else:
- order and manage the server your websites will run on,
- add your websites, mailboxes and domain settings (DNS),
- read the invoices for the plan we agreed with you.
Setup access never includes your payment details: we cannot see or add a card, and we cannot pay anything with one.
How long it lasts
Setup access is given for a set time — at most 90 days at a time — and ends by itself the moment you accept the invitation. From then on the account is yours, and our team only works in it the way support always does, with your agreement.
Seeing what was done
Open Activity once you have joined. Every step our team took appears there, including:
- Our team was given access to set up this account
- Our team made a change while setting up this account
- Our team's setup access ended when you joined
Each entry shows when it happened. Ask us about any of them from Support.
