IT/Procedures/Website Moving

Moving a website from one server to another takes several steps which are listed here.

Zoneedit

Since the website will be moved from one server to another and these two servers do not have the same IP address, one has to change the IP address to which the domain name points to.

In Zoneedit this is done as follows:

1. Go to Domains.
2. Look for the websites domain in the list and click on 'dns'.
3. Look for A Records and click 'edit'.
4. Add the websites (sub)domain and/or point it to the IP address of the new server.
5. Click 'next'.
6. The changes will be shown. Click 'confirm'.
7. Click done.
