How to redirect domain to new server?

  • 772

I've got a domain registered with a hosting company who I no longer wish to use. I'm happy for them to keep managing my domain, but I want my domain to point to my new (better) server which i've just bought and set up.

I know my new server's IP address and Nameservers,

What do I need to do in my domain management control panel to make it point to my new server?

  • Change the "A" record to the new IP?
  • Change the nameservers to my new hosts nameservers?

Is that it? Are there no other record on either server which need changing? I always get confused by who needs to do what when it comes to domains...

Thanks, Hugh

    If you are happy for your existing host to keep managing the domain, you don't even need to change the nameservers - just the A record. Change it to point to the IP of your new server and you're set.
