Got a bit of a tricky one here. I'm gonna use example to domain names to make this simple.
So I have a server: whm.example.com
. The main domain example.com
was bought using Fasthosts, not bought with the web hosting company.
Configured in the WHM/cPanel, look to be custom nameservers, ns1.example.com
and ns2.example.com
. The domain name in Fasthosts of course points to ns1.example.com
and ns2.example.com
.
On my web server (whm.example.com
) they are multiple websites. I want to migrate example.com
to a new web server, which would mean updating the nameservers for that domain.
Because the domain, web server and the nameservers take the same name, would pointing example.com
to new nameservers (ns1.website1.com
& ns2.website1.com
) cause all websites that run on the whm.example.com
server to go down?
Let's say I have a website called mywebsite.example
on the whm.example.com
server. I assume changing the nameserves on this particular domain wouldn't be an issue, as it isn't directly linked to the server name.
If someone could give me a real idiots guide on the solution to this, that would be fantastic. I'm not web server tech savvy, it is far from my domain.
