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
