Moving your website to a different host

[MsKoko144]

"Change IP to new host" ? Can you do that by yourself ?

doesn't that require some action (permission) from your old hosting ?

I disagree... a better way is to wait until your TTL is set... e.g. the method should be:

1) Assume your TTL was set to 86400 (24 hours)... set your TTL to 300 ( 5minutes)

2) Wait 24 hours (the old TTL setting) after you changed the TTL

3) Move the website/database/content to new host (don't make any changes to old host)

4) Change IP to new host

5) Bingo-bango

DNS stands for domain name system first, domain name server, second.

@hm2k And thus we can say DNS server and still be grammatically correct ... unlike ATM Machines :)

You can see a related video, but with Matt with much less marathons and hair: youtube.com/watch?v=w41dsE87Cf­Y&feature=related

Content is awesome anyway and Matt explanations and sound is better in my opinion in this newer one.

Does Google Analytics work on IP Addresses or Domain Names? If on Domain Names, we should not observe the traffic curve.
