Go-live checklist

The steps to take your site live on Mahsumah Cloud, from domain to HTTPS.

Last updated: 2026-08-115 min read

Going live is a short, ordered process. Follow these steps and your site will be served over HTTPS from Riyadh with monitoring already active, plus daily backups on managed cPanel/WordPress hosting.

Before you switch

  1. Confirm your plan is active after checkout.
  2. Have your site content or repository ready (or ask us about managed migration).
  3. Decide how you'll connect your domain: point nameservers to ours, or add A records to the server.
  4. Lower your domain's DNS TTL a day ahead so the switch propagates faster.

Switching over

  1. Connect your domain following the domain guide.
  2. Wait for DNS propagation (usually minutes to a few hours).
  3. Our team issues your Let's Encrypt SSL certificate automatically once DNS resolves.
  4. Open your site over https:// and check every key page.
  5. Confirm your public status shows your service as up.

Note

During the switch your old host may still answer requests until DNS fully propagates. Keep it online until you've confirmed the new site works.
