I'm building a new Magento website on a Amazon ec2 instance and will need to point domain of their old OSCommerce site to the new ec2 instance's elastic IP address.
Normally I would have though this a simple task of updating the A
record of their domain, but when I logged into the account with their register I see they have 90 records set up already, mostly CNAME
& A
records.
They have no IT guy to ask, but I'm almost 100% sure what I need to do but as I normally work with web dev stuff like php and javascript etc I just want to make sure I have it right.
To give you a sample of their DNS records they have set up:
Type Host Data TTL Kind State In Synch
A intweb1.their-domain.com 19?.??.???.OLD 3600 Manual Active yes
CNAME intweb.their-domain.com intweb1.their-domain.com 3600 Manual Active yes
CNAME www.their-domain.com intweb1.their-domain.com 3600 Manual Active yes
A fs.their-domain.com 19?.??.???.OLD 3600 Manual Active yes
CNAME fileserver.their-domain.com fs.their-domain.com 3600 Manual Active yes
I believe I only need to REMOVE:
A intweb1.their-domain.com 19?.??.???.OLD 3600 Manual Active yes
AND CHANGE:
CNAME www.their-domain.com intweb1.their-domain.com 3600 Manual Active yes
TO:
A www.their-domain.com 19?.??.???.NEW 3600 Manual Active yes
AND ADD ANOTHER RECORD:
CNAME their-domain.com www.their-domain.com 3600 Manual Active yes
Is this correct?
