In reply to: Pointing domain to new hosting siteWanted to also mention that the client will now be using GoDaddy webmail as the email client, so I needed to ensure that worked smoothly as well.

In reply to: Pointing domain to new hosting siteok, tried again today and new site is up and running!
Here is what I did differently this time:
1. GoDaddy allows creation of an off-site DNS so that I can update the advanced fields, so I created “existsite” as an off-site DNS in GoDaddy. GoDaddy gives special nameservers in order to use this option.
2. I exported the DNS zone info for “newsite”.
3. From Network Solutions (the registrar for “existsite”) I pointed the nameservers to those specified by the off-site DNS in GoDaddy.
4. I imported the DNS zone file from “newsite” into the off-site DNS on GoDaddy for “existsite”.
5. I changed the WordPress Home and Site URLs to “existsite”.
6. In GoDaddy, I made “existsite” the primary domain instead of “newsite”.It took about 30 minutes or so but everything was accessible after that. One problem I didn’t think of fixing beforehand was that I had href links on some of my pages that were referencing “newsite”. I had to change those manually but luckily there weren’t very many.

In reply to: Pointing domain to new hosting siteThanks, I will look into it.
I have also read in various posts/articles that the A Name may need to be changed to point to the new IP address?

In reply to: Pointing domain to new hosting siteleejosepho, thanks for responding.
I did change the URLs through the dashboard settings to “existsite” :(.
This seems like it should be straightforward, so I’m missing something. Is there anything else for the DNS that needs to be changed?

In reply to: [Chocolat] Static front pageWell, this problem seems to have resolved itself. I deleted my original pages with the comment and trackback boxes. When I recreated them, the new pages now only display what I type!
