One question, is olddomain.com changing to a new domain name or are you keeping the same domain name, just wanting to move DNS, Registrar and Website?<br />

Agggh, I was looking at GoDaddy but we went elsewhere (sounds like that would have been the easiset). &nbsp;The only item that I care about is making sure that olddomain.com e-mail is not interuppted for too long. &nbsp;The olddomain.com will simply forward to the new domain and we will even eventually move away from that all together. &nbsp;The DNS records for olddomain are not that important, just the MX records. &nbsp;

<div>
as I just said, you need to pick a registrar that transfers the MX records automatically and Go Daddy does. &nbsp;Good luck finding another one that can handle this crucial part of domain transfers correctly. &nbsp;99% do not.

My title might be a bit difficult to follow, so I will spell this out really clearly. &nbsp;I have a site hosted at olddomain.com that we currently get e-mail though a hosted provider. &nbsp;I have set up newdomain.com and have that as a duplicate of olddomain.com. &nbsp;I want to cancel that hosting and have olddomain.com point to newdomain.com. &nbsp;I also want to move the registrar so that I have everything under one account. &nbsp;The hangup that I have are the mxrecords for olddomain.com. &nbsp;I want to make sure that we can still get e-mail through that domain using our hosted providor. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I assume that I need to initiate the domain transfer first, then once the domain is transferred then I would update the MX records for olddomain.com at the new registrar and then set the pointer to newdomain.com. &nbsp;Am I missing anything or should that do it. &nbsp;Thanks.

Moving hosts and domain names, must keep e-mail
