DNS Problems

[mizzou]

Ok I've been working on this problem for more than a week, with no Avail.

basic details:
ok my DNS information is located at my registrar

I had a previous website which was hosted at another host other than my registrar online.

I had to switch the host of the website for a number of reasons.

The new host has to be accessed via a Nameserver, which needs to be configured on my registrar.

One more problem....I have my own email server

.................................................

so there is the problem....and this is what I've done so far

In my new host: I disabled the email and set up a custom MX to go to my email host.

I set the Nameserver on my registrar to go to the new host.

and to no avail...
as soon as I change it the old website turns to an error page, and we don't recieve emails.

isn't it just supposed to seemlessly transfer from one to the other?

thank you for all your help!

OK, I'll ask the obvious question: Did you upload the site to the new host?

Can you access the site on the new host using the numeric address they gave you when you signed up? If yes, then my guess is that you're inputting something incorrectly when you change the DNS info at the registrar.

Is the address correct when you get the 404 error?
