Can see the default WP theme and a single post. Hope that helps
Could you please clear cache and check? I am seeing the correct site!

I will check that again when I'm back home. Weak 3G/4G signal here in the hospital

Just checked with friend of mine and he got the same issue, some sort of caching, meantime you can see the site if you add ?and some numbers at the end.

@Ambarishrh yep, can see it now. Is there some (reverse) caching proxy in front?
-
Should be fine now, there was W3 cache initially there which got disabled after the site migration. It is accessible from multiple locations.

How are you liking Cloudways?
-
So far so good, but too early to comment! The interface is easy, got quite a lot of controls available. If all goes well, in a few days will kill ASO and continue with cloudways

I've just checked Cloudways offerings, but it doesn't seem like you are able to run your own mail server there. They don't even offer some shared mail hosting at all. Instead, they are pointing you to Rackspace where each mailbox is $1/mo.
So my question is: How do you manage your mail accounts? Plain Gmail?

I switched to Zoho. It's free/cheap and you get a ton for the price.

I use Zoho as well for my mail.

Will take a look, but I want to stay within the EU
Thx for mentioning Zoho @stacksofplates and @coliver -

Would be interested to know your feedback in detail. What exactly did you not like about this?

So it's been a long time ha. I think the reason was when you add a domain for a corporate email, it's done through yandex.ru and you don't actually "check" the email through bitrix but it just links you to the yandex.ru page. I think. I'm using another domain I have to test it and see if what I remember is correct.
-
So this was another issue I remember having before. When you change the MX records for your domain, there is a verify button in the Bitrix interface. I can click the verify button 1000 times and it doesn't ever re-check, just says last checked 6 hours ago. So I may get too tired of trying and give up, but here is a message that kind of confirms what I was remembering:
IIRC you just get a message counter that shows how many unread emails you have. Then when you click the "message viewer" it opens the yandex webmail for you to check your mail. The whole point of me using the product was for email so that's why I stuck with Zoho.
-
Ok I got the domain joined and as I remembered this is what happened. I added a mail account and when I went to open the mail account it took me to this page at passport.yandex.com:
