: How can I repoint my domain? DNS/MX etc I've searched the questions here, but have found nothing that gives me the assurance I require. My situation: I have a domain registered with Network
I've searched the questions here, but have found nothing that gives me the assurance I require.
My situation:
I have a domain registered with Network Solutions, linked to hosting on NetSol
I have hosting at GoDaddy
I wish to have the domain registered with NetSol point to the hosting at GoDaddy
I also have an external mailserver that must be pointed at to handle all mail requests (MX?)
My question is how to I go about executing the above? Do I go into my Network Solutions account and change the DNS settings for the domain in question, changing the NS addresses to GoDaddy, and the MX addresses to my mail server? If this is correct, how would I then set the folder on GoDaddy that the domain points to, do I do this via my GoDaddy account?
Apologies if this has already been answered elsewhere, I just require absolute clarity as this is for a fairly sensitive website change- and apologies for my ignorance on the matter!

Do I go into my Network Solutions account and change the DNS settings for the domain in question, changing the NS addresses to the goDaddy host, and the MX addresses to my mail server?
Change your A records or CNAME records to point to the GoDaddy server IP address or hostname, and your MX records to point to the mailserver. (You should be able to find the GoDaddy server IP address or hostname in your hosting control panel.)
If this is correct, how would I then set the folder on my host (B) that the domain (A) points to, do I do this via my goDaddy account?
You need to add the domain in your GoDaddy control panel. This differs depending on which hosting package you have with them. See Managing Your Hosting Account Domains from their help pages. Be sure to set up this new domain before changing your DNS records with Network Solutions so that the account and folder exists when traffic starts to arrive at GoDaddy's servers.
