noeffort Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 Please clarify, Have my "old" web site up and changed domain dns numbers to point to TCH. I have a duplicated site up at TCH with temp IP number. If this is a temp IP number when do you know to change to domain name I registered under? And will browsers locate my temp site? Quote
TCH-Rick Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 The ip number you use to access your site is the ip of the server your site is on. It is not a temp ip number. When you change the nameservers at your registrar you are telling the registrar to let everyone know your address has changed, so to speak, and that they should go to the nameservers to find the address. When they go to the nameservers they will get your TCH ip address and use it instead of your old ip address. Once you change your nameservers listed with your registrar you don't need to do anything else but wait until everyone has your correct address--a process referred to as propagation. Some ISP update the addresses quicker than others which is why some folks will see your new site before and some will see it after you do. Quote
