Point DNS to New Website
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I’ve just finished moving my site to a new host and now need the domain traffic switched over smoothly. I already have full access to the DNS management console, so you can dive straight in once we agree on the exact records to touch.
Your task is to identify every entry that must change—most likely the root A record and the www CNAME—and update them so the domain resolves to the new server. I’d like the cut-over handled with minimal downtime, which means adjusting TTLs, scheduling the update at a quiet time, and confirming propagation once the edits are saved. Please double-check that SSL, email, and any sub-domains continue to work afterward.
Deliverables
• Updated zone file pointing to the new host
• Brief confirmation report listing the records altered, their new values, and propagation test results
If you’re confident you can wrap this up quickly and cleanly, let’s get started.
