My host, Webair has switched my data to another server per my request and when it was finished, I got an email from them and part of it contained this:
Dear client,
your content has been transfer and is ready to be verified.
The contents and settings have all been transfered to your new dedicated server.
In order for us to verify that everything is working properly we need you to test your server config and websites.
After that we can change the DNS information and permanently launch your dedicated server.
What you need to to is to modify your hosts file and bind your domains to the following IP-addresses: xx.xxx.xx.2
xx.xx.xxx.3
here is a little example of what your hosts file can include:
xxx.x.x.1 localhost
xx.xx.xxx.xx2 www.blackvaginafinder.com
xx.xx.xxx.xx3 www.
you have to insert new entries in the following format:
IP www.domainame.com domainname.com
Enter the IP address of your new server into in the hosts file associating it with your domain, and you can fully test your web site before having the DNS changed.
They gave a good explanation of how to change the hosts file and stuff but I don't know how to do any of this shit.....I sent tech an email but I'm asking the question here too..
Can anybody simplify this shit for me?
