Post subject: | Moving to a new domain |
Hi all, At work, it looks very much like we'll be changing our company domain name. As it stands, our existing domain is legally owned by the previous owners of the company (the new owners forgot to transfer ownership ![]() Here's a rough timeline: Now: Purchase new domain(s), point to existing address Soon: Start printing new company stationery with new address July: When existing hosting contract ends, move hosting to new domain name (different hosting co.) and point old domain to new hosting Ongoing: Make sure all contacts have our new addresses 2010/11: Stop paying for old domain, let it die ![]() Any comments on this? The email is the bit I'm not sure about, is it possible to have both domains running for email at the same time (we use MS exchange)? I can live with a bit of downtime on our website, but I need email to be as seamless as possible. If anyone's done this sort of thing before, I'd appreciate your comments. Ta! |

I do it all the time. You can have multiple email domains in Exchange. Just add them to the recipient policy & tick the box to tell Exchange it's in charge of it. Create an A record for your exchange server in the new domain. Create an MX record pointing to your new A record & update rDNS with your ISP. |
