Move the site to a new IP address

Move the site to a new IP address

You can speed up the propagation of changes to a resource record to caching servers. To do this, reduce the TTL of the record to the lowest possible value a few days before the planned change. Then change the resource record at the scheduled time, and when the change propagates to the caching servers, return the TTL to the previous value.

  1. В control panels go to DNS → Domain zones.
  2. Open the zone page.
  3. On the menu. of the A-record group, select Edit.
  4. Change the IP address to a new one.
  5. Click Save.
  6. Wait for the resource record to update on the DNS servers. The update can take up to 72 hours from the TTL of the group. You can view the TTL group of resource records in control panels under DNS → Domain zones → zone page.
  7. Optional: check the resource record. If 72 hours after creation the resource record has not been updated on the DNS servers, file a ticket.
  8. Check that only the new IP address receives requests and the old IP address has no user requests. Then release the old IP address.
