Transferring NS records to a new server
- by lanemiller
I feel like that was NOT worded well, but here is my current predicament.
I recently had a GoDaddy dedicated server, and decided after their customer support failed to do anything but disappoint, to switch to Rackspace.
We have 2 ns records that point to our godaddy server, and we have a few sites left on the server, that rely on it for their DNS zones, and the owners of the domains fail to respond to us.
So, the question is, if I need to transfer the sites off of the OLD godaddy NS, can I point the A records from my ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com to match up with IP addresses of the Rackspace nameservers? OR, do I cname my NS records to match the rackspace ones?
I DO know that this isn't advised, either method, but I need to get these sites moved before Godaddy tries charging another $2k for the server.
