I’m looking to redirect my domains DNS to a new host, can anyone help?
I have a domain name and an email account with 123-reg.co.uk but I want to redirect the domain to another host. I would just change the nameservers but then the email doesn’t work. I’ve tried fiddling with the CNAME and A records etc but I’ve no idea what I’m doing, can anyone please help?
You can do this two ways. Add the DNS zone on the receiving company for DNS and make sure the MX points to the correct place or point the A record where the current domain is hosted (123-reg.co.uk) to the new host, thus still allowing 123-reg.co.uk to control DNS.

if you have a DNS change you need to submit the changes from the new server to take ownership of the record (SOA) 1st.
Put a redirect in your index.php or index.html
<?php
if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && (‘on’ == $_SERVER['HTTPS'])) {
$uri = ‘https://’;
} else {
$uri = ‘http://’;
}
$uri .= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
header(‘Location: ‘.$uri.’http://newsite.TLD’);
exit;
?>
