Need help primary domain sold

[HostDatabase]

I have sold my primary domain. And I need to setup server to use a new domain.

This is my server and I have root.

server1.olddomain.com needs to be server1.newdomain.com

Also I have registered nameserver IP's for my new domain with my registrar to use the same nameserver IP's that the olddomain.com used

What is the best way to go about this? Also will my DA license need to be changed?

Thanks

Your DA license is based on your IP#, not on your hostname.

You can change your hostname using DA; it's somewhere in the administrator stuff on the admin screen.

Change your nameservers through the control panel as well.

But I don't believe that changes them for current domains.

To make your new nameservers work for all the domains hosted on your server three things need to be done:

1) you and/or your clients need to go to their registrars where their domains are hosted and make the change there. Without them doing that your domains may soon stop working.

2) you'll need to change the nameserver NS records in each zone file on the server; you can do that either through the control panel, or through a sed one-liner you can run through the control panel (lots of examples on the 'net, so I'm not going to write one here).

3) You'll need to make sure your new hostname exists in your DNS zone files, either in it's own file or in the main file for the new domain; you'll need an A record for your hostname, and an A record for each of ns1 and ns2 at the new domain.
