I have a hosted domain at siteground. On this domain & host I have a subdomain with a wordpress install. I wish to move this blog to another host (hostgator), while keeping the domain with siteground.
To do this I created a hosting account at hostgator, got it's ip address and set the A record in siteground's cpanel accordingly:
subdomain.example.com 14400 A (ip of hostgator account)
Going by this online traceroute tool the records appear to have been updated (over 4 hours ago now) as it now resolves to a theplanet.com server location which hostgator use yet the subdomain is still not resolving from a web browser. The account at hostgator has been setup and is navigable via ip address/~accountname.
What's going wrong here?
I should add the relevant DNS record at hostgator side looks like this:
subdomain.example.com 86400 IN SOA ns483.websitewelcome.com.
subdomain.example.com 86400 IN NS ns1.siteground145.com.
subdomain.example.com 86400 IN NS ns2.siteground145.com.
subdomain.example.com 14400 IN A 74.54.176.3
I'm not sure if the hostgator record should be classed as the SOA record but I don't know enough about it to be sure. Is this the source of the problem?
