    Default Migration from web3

    Hello, I was previously on web3 (AFAIK), and have been moved to web5 I believe.

    I manage my own DNS, so will I need to update my A records to point to the web5 server now?

    If so what is the ip address of that server?

    Thanks,

    Jeb

    Just asked this question earlier this week, to get the IP they said to run this:

    nslookup YOURDOMAIN.com ns1.steadfast.net

    from your commmand line in windows, it should give you the IP you should use.

    For the most part, DNS servers should NOT change. The transitions are happening at webserver levels and they are physically different servers than the DNS servers.

    ManagerJosh, I run my own DNS servers, and don't use steadfast's for this, so when they move webservers, I must update my DNS records to point to the new server.

    Thanks biggerboy, that was what I needed.

    I dont understand?
    DNS points to an IP address not a physical location. If you move a server and keep the same IP whats there to update?

    web5 has a different public ip address than web3.

    just do a lookup on web5.steadfast.net, thats the ip you should change it to. Unless I completely read all of this wrong
