  1. Hello, Peter!
  2.  
  3. I'm happy to inform you that we have finished migrating your website content. So far, we have copied your site files, email and databases, and we've also made the necessary changes so everything is connected. Now you will need to check your sites to ensure everything has been moved correctly. If everything is working correctly, you will be able to update your DNS to complete the process.
  4.  
  5. Please note that because of how certain websites are coded they will require you to access the website using the full domain name. You can edit your computer's hosts file to trick it into loading the website and domain from our server instead of from where the domain is currently pointing.
  6.  
  7. Here is a tutorial that shows you how to edit your personal computer's hosts file to preview your sites without changing the nameservers:
  8. http://support.hostgator.com/articles/specialized-help/technical/how-do-i-change-my-hosts-file
  9.  
  10. Here are the lines that you'll want to add to your hosts file, according to the instructions referenced above:
  11. 192.232.223.146 saintposters.com www.saintposters.com
  12. 192.232.223.146 homemathstutor.com www.homemathstutor.com
  13. 192.232.223.146 thersteacher.com www.thersteacher.com
  14.  
  15. This is only a temporary measure to preview your site, so once your registrar has the updated information and DNS is fully propagated, you will need to remove any lines you added to the hosts file. Once you have modified the host file on your personal computer, you will need to use the full domain name to view the site. When modifying the host file you are telling your computer not to look at the parent DNS servers for information on how to reach your domain name. Instead you are telling your computer that the domain name is located at that specific address and to use that address when you type the domain name into your browser.
  16.  
  17. IMPORTANT: If you make any changes to your website or update any posts on the old server or during DNS propagation, those changes will not be reflected on your new account. It can take 24-48 hours for DNS changes to fully propagate to your new account's server once the NameServer updates are made at your registrar.
  18.  
  19. If everything is working properly, then each of your domains will need to be updated at your domain registrar(s) with these nameservers:
  20.  
  21. ns6085.hostgator.com
  22. ns6086.hostgator.com
  23.  
  24. You can review detailed information on updating your nameservers at most registrars at the link below:

  26.

  28.  
  29. Please do NOT cancel your old hosting account until after your nameservers have been updated, and the websites have fully propagated to the new account. We may not be able to retrieve any data from your old hosting account once it hasbeen cancelled.Let us know if you have any questions or concerns and we'll be happy to assist.
