    Migration from Shared to VPS

    Hi,

    I have just switched from a shared server to a VPS . The support was nice and transfered my account from the old to the new server but I still don't get some points.

    1) I don't want any downtimes so I did not make the DNS changes yet.
    I have registered the new nameserver with my registrar, but after the registration it tells me that it takes 24-48 hours for the DNS changes to get globally propagated.
    Does this mean that I have to wait 48 hours before I can put the new DNS into my domain?

    2) Beside this I am told to update the zone file at the source server to point A/MX record.

    What does this mean?! what is the zone file, what is the source server and what is the A/MX record?

    You might be using the Shared server's IP address, so the hosting provider was unable to provide you the same IP address on VPS. Once the migration of data is completed, you can ask your domain registrar to update the nameservers. You don't need to wait for 24-48 hours to update the nameservers. 24-48 hours is the maximum time needed for propagation. Generally DNS is propagated within 12-24 hours. Mail Exchange(MX) record points to the mail server.

      I totally agree with you.
