Hi,

I have access to the DNS Zone where the accounts are currently hosted and I would like to change these so it a quick change over from old host to Mars server.

Do I change the Minimum TTL which is currently 86400 ?

Do I change the TTL for each A record which are currently 14400 ?

Do I change the nameservers in the DNS record from what they are now to the Mars nameservers ?

Garry,

If you are planning to change over in a few days then lowering the TTL may help.

If you are planning to do this now the quickest thing is to manually change all the entries to point to the new IP(s). You can update the nameservers yes.

Thanks,

Andrew
