is it possible to move a site to a new server while keeping the domain on the old server? So, the site would have a new IP but the domain is still hosted on the old server without changing the DNS records. Many thanks.

    What do you mean with the terms "site" and "domain" here? Are you referring to web site versus domain name server? Please clarify. – Jenny D Jun 15 '17 at 11:12
  • I want to move my site to a new server without changing the current DNS records. Is this possible and if so how? – Openmind Jun 17 '17 at 00:04
  • You would need to change the A record for the site, not the NS records. If you're running your own name server, you really need to read up on how these things work. – Jenny D Jun 17 '17 at 08:20

It sounds like your goal is to migrate an existing web site to a new web server.

If your new server has a new address, DNS records will need to be updated internally and externally (if applicable) to reflect this change.

Yes, you can move the website to a new server without moving the DNS zone.
