[HotChilli]

Hey Everyone,

I have my own dedicated Raq with my own nameservers (ns.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com)

Well, mydomain.com is about to close down and I want to open a new business up.

So now, for this new business, I want to change the ns servers so they are ns.newbusiness.com and ns2.newbusiness.com

I would like to know what are the steps I should take to do this? I have a Raq 3 if that helps

I have about 20 websites that are currently pointing to the ns.mydomain.com nameservers so would this change affect any of them? And what would I need to do to make sure everything changes smoothly?

Thanks for your help! - much appreciated

are mydomain.com really closing down ?

I think he was just replacing his actual domain with 'mydomain' (like as in in, "Put 'yourdomain.com' in the form...") not specifically the *actual* site 'mydomain.com'.

if it's on the same server, that should be quite easy.

just add 2 new domains for the 2 new nameservers with unique ips. change the primary and secondary records of each domain to point to the new names.
go to network solutions and use the change host form to put new dns through.
This will then automatically change the dns entries for each domain.

Simon

That seems too easy...
