We have a new hosting to host our wordpress site. But I would like to remain the email functionalities from my previous host. So that our email users will never changed their local client settings.
If I changed the nameserver, the email of course will be in trouble. I searched the net and found out it must somewhere in MX/Host Record. So I redo the nameserver settings back to default and work around as what suggested. What I did recently is that I changed the 'www' address points to the shared IP of the new hosting server.
But when I visit my site after 24hrs. It gives the page error "This webpage has a redirect loop".
Hope somebody can help here.
Thanks in advance,

Problem:
I have svilab.com and www.svilab.com pointing to the managed DNS servers from Netlify.
I would like crm.netlify.com to point to a Godaddy IP address 160.153.33.96
Here is what I have done so far:
Migrated my DNS from Godaddy to Netlify by changing the nameservers to
dns1.p06.nsone.net
dns2.p06.nsone.net
dns3.p06.nsone.net
dns4.p06.nsone.net
Created an A record that goes to crm.svilab.com -> 160.153.33.96 which is a godaddy server.
What I am expecting is to see:
A login page for the suitecrm I setup.
What I am actually seeing is:
Future home of something quite cool. I have verified that the home.html for this default page does not exist in the public_html on godaddy.
I setup the A record correctly. See my dropbox link
The problem was on netlify's side. From their email...
You made the record correctly. There is a known bug (cross-linked to this conversation for tracking) were sometimes, very rarely but sometimes, the DNS record gets created in our UI but not in the actual DNS server.
So, our UI says there is a record, when in reality there isn't one.
To clarify, you did everything correctly and it was a bug on our end. I deleted and recreated that A record in the Netlify UI and it worked the second time around.
You can't point crm.netlify.com to choice of your server, as this is completely owned by netlify.
For pointing crm.{yourdomain.example} you need to create A record in your domains zone file pointing it to specific IP you want.
I created a website with html, css, js, jquery and got a domain name at http://dot.tk.
The name of the website is http://onlinehtmleditor.tk.
But my browser is taking me to http://guide.domain-error.com/search9870798707.php?keyword=onlinehtmleditor.tk/&uri=&uid=57499c974fcbe...
I searched google but the results were solutions to remove domain-error not http://guide.domain-error.com/.
So how do I prevent this?
It means that the DNS records have not been updated yet.
The page you see is provider-specific, I see an other page when visiting your website.
DNS ("Domain Name System") is used to get an IP address from a domain.
When you register a domain, the DNS records have to be actualized, your domain and your server's IP have to be added.
I assume you have already set up a server and assigned it to your domain (otherwise you have to do this in the domain management panel first).
If so, you only have to wait a little.
If you haven't assigned a server yet, do that first and check again a little time after this.
I hope I could help.
I have setup web-hosting for the domain name, 'www.domainName.com' (forExample) and had it working fine, but when I removed the existing nameservers and placed in my web-hosting nameServers, it broke the 3rd party email hosting, which unbeknown to me was actively being used. To rectify this, my nameServers were removed, and the mail-hosting namerServers were added back:
ab1_mailNameServer_etc
ab2_mailNameServer_etc
Nothing else was changed but I now get a 'ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED' error when i venture to the 'www.domainName.com' through my browser.
I looked up the domain A-Records using MXtoolBox and it tells me that no name servers can be found, although i have an A-Record for, domainName.com & www.domainName.com that point to the correct IP. I also have the correct A-Records in my hosting, and i know this because this all worked before my hosting nameServers were removed.
My question is, can I simply add back in my web-hosting nameServers under the existing email nameServers without breaking email-hosting link?
I am a lil frightened to do so, as I cannot risk breaking the email twice in one week.
Thanks in advance peeps! ;)
After changing back to mail-hosting's nameservers, if your emails have started working, then there's no problem with DNS propagation. In this case, an error "ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED" is more likely a local computer problem and can be fixed by the flushing DNS and clearing the browse cache/cookies.
As long as primarily set nameservers (mail-hosting nameservers) are resolving correctly, adding hosting nameservers under to existing won't create any difference.
So apparently you can only have one set of nameservers (not sure if that's across the board, or just with this registrar) listed, then you need to add the 'MX entry', relevant CNAME, TXT-Records in your web hosting via cPanel and ur mail and web hosting should work in unity. Peace, hope that helps someoene, cause it took me freakn ages to find that out!
I have cloned my Liferay machine and got another instance with different IP and DNS. Unfortunately, once I visit my new address, server does 301 redirect to old address.
I can visit new site, can't open it's control panel etc, since it's always throws me to old name.
How to overcome?
UPDATE
I have edited my hosts file so that it points myoldname.mydomain.com to new IP. This way I am able to browse new site under old name.
I went to Portal Settings and changed Virtual Host parameter from "localhost" to mynewname.mydomain.com
I was thinking that this parameter controls redirect but was wrong: it still occurs. Any ideas?
The virtual host setting can also be done per site - check if your site has a virtual host configured as well (it's in the site's settings/configuration, should be easy to find)
I recently changed NS of one domain to another host and created a domain using Helm Control Panel.
The problem is that when I type domain name (ie. www.MyDomain.com) instead of opening the coresponding website, it opens host webmail page which is served by smarter mail.
I have cleared dns cache, rebuilt and updated it. also I removed the domain and added it again.
Pinging the domain name returns server's IP address and it's up.
The hosting OS is windows server 2003.
I appreciate any comments to solve the problem.
Edit 1:
Though this was a long last headache, I solved the problem by removing domain's DNS entry alongside with all alias domains attached to it directly in DNS Server console, restarting server and then rebuilding DNS Zone via Helm Control Panel. I'm not sure if this was the best practice but it seems there was a mix of domain's DNS, alias domains' DNS, Hosting software, Caching problems.
Edit 2:
Actually this error was not about the DNS stuff, it is a failure of Helm Control Panel adding/removing alias domains. To share the experience, I Add a answer to this question.
This was not a DNS error.
I found the answer when examining IIS where i noticed the website was stopped.
Forcing the website to start, this error message poped up:
IIS was unable to start the site, another site may already be using the port you configured for this site.
Further investigation revealed that one same domain alias has previously added to another domain/host.
Removing this alias from IIS > Website Properties > Website > Advanced > Advanced Website Identification, fixed the problem.
What led me to assume a dns problem mistakenly was that default IP of server is set to mail server by default. so, when a website is stopped the domain points to mail server.
Hope this help for future.
