Changing website hosting

funkyphantom · 17 Jan 2012 at 21:24

Hi guys,
Ive ordered some web hosting with tsohost.co.uk and i want to connect it to my domain which is held at 123reg. Am i right in thinking the only thing i need to do is to point the DNS to the tsohost hosting in 123reg control panel, and then wait? Ive been waiting about 4 hours now. I know it says it could take 24 hours to propagate but the last time i did this only took a couple of hours I'm sure.
Regards
FP

Thanks

Personally I would have moved the domain over to the new host. It can get nasty when your domain name is with one company and hosting is on another.

No thanks, I've learned the hard way there, when the hosting company basically held me to ransom on my domain name when i wanted to move to a cheaper deal. From now on i will always keep my domain names separate!

Depends on what time to live is set on your domain, if you ever move again see if you can reduce the time before moving to minimise dns cache issues.

Thanks for this, is there any way of checking when the 'time to live' is set?

bahhh still waiting.

Im beginning to think I've done something wrong guys, could someone confirm my website is still up? http://www.trenthamparkgolfclub.com/ If it isn't up and the dns has propagated there should be an 'under construction' banner on there.
Cheers

Your nameservers are still pointed to Turbodns, which I'm sure is webfusion (123-reg), you need to change them to point to tsohosts.

Thanks for your help,
this is what i have done so far:
Logged into 123 reg, selected my domain, clicked 'manage' clicked 'change name servers' then made sure ns1.tsohost.co.uk ns2.tsohost.co.uk and ns3.tsohost.co.uk are in the 1st 2nd and third box. Then i clicked 'change name servers'
Is there anything else i need to do?
Regards

Ya sorted now. I hadnt 'unlocked' the domain before entering my new DNS details.
