The corp accounts were set long before we decided to use AWS. When we asked GoDaddy about migrating corp to AWS, they gave us a "suggested actions" sheet and turned off our domains. Like...immediately. No warning or anything. <br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Feb 26, 2019 at 3:04 PM Neal Rhodes via Ale <<a href="mailto:ale@ale.org">ale@ale.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Well, I cannot claim great planning, but my domain is registered with <br>
A2, and I previously used GoDaddy for the mail and servers.<br>

This meant that I could do all the setup on GreenGeeks, then when they <br>
were ready, and had already grabbed our mailboxes, I switched the A2 <br>
domain to point to GreenGeeks on a Saturday night, and voila.<br>
<br>
If things continue to work ok, I can turn off the Godaddy. Or I could <br>
even limp back to them.<br>
<br>
Had the domain been registered with GoDaddy, I don't think this would <br>
have been so clean.<br>
