Moving hosts, can I just keep my domain at Host A and re-route DNS? (2 posts)

    I'm moving hosts for my blogs, but wondered if I could/should just keep the domains at Host A and just change the DNS to point to Host B (new host)

    Is that possible?
    Is there any benefit to this? Other than avoiding domain transfer headaches?
    Is there any negatives to this? Will there be any performance issues?

    Thanks so much

    Ben,

    When moving hosts you have too change DNS for domains too. Change it only when you transfer all the files and databases to new host, and when you changed configuration of your blogs according to new database info. In this case there will be no downtime for your websites. If you registered your domains with Host A, then you should change DNS there. If you registered domains elsewhere, then you should change there. It's better than transferring domains to new registrar, because such transfers could be up to 2 weeks long.
