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
