<html> <body> If your ISP is hosting your DNS for MX and WWW already, seems to me all you need to do is point the A records for WWW to the new IP addresses, not switch registrars. The only changes in DNS should be A records for the entries you need to point to the new IP addresses. Provided the domain name is still the same that is. If it's an entirely new domain, then you need to change the A records for that domain. Been there a few times.

I have a domain registered at a registrar and hosted at a provider. The provider has given me primary and secondary DNS names and ip addresses. I have entered those at the registrar's site. All whois queries work and email is configured and working properly. I can find the web site from anyone's browser. I now have a new company which has built commercial web pages for me, and I need to make them active. This company says I need to change my DNS addresses with my registrar to make this work. Is this correct? They will then take over hosting the domain (become my NEW provider)? They do NOT do any email, so if I make the DNS server changes at my registrar, will my email break? If not, then I'm not sure I understand how any of this works. I thought that my provider (ISP) puts up A and MX DNS records which allow resolution of my web pages and my email addresses. If I switch to a new provider that claims to not do email, who will make my email work? thanks, -chuck ~ _______________________________________________ Redhat-install-list mailing list Redhat-install-list@redhat.com <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list" eudora="autourl"> https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list</a> To Unsubscribe Go To ABOVE URL or send a message to: redhat-install-list-request@redhat.com Subject: unsubscribe </blockquote> <x-sigsep></x-sigsep> -------------------------------------------(0)--------------------------------------------------- William C.
