No, I wasn't making myself clear: I was asking if we could adjust the entries of the haiku-os.net domain to point to the new servers completely, such that we would have www.haiku-os.net, svn.haiku-os.net and dev.haiku-os.net resolving to IP addresses of the new server. This way, we could setup the new webservers to match the (host-)names of the existing haiku-os.org servers. At a later stage, when we transfer haiku-os.org, we'd just have to add the .org domain on top. This would avoid having to add temporary entries to the haiku-os.org domain. > As a general rule, from a consistency POV it is always better to use > the haiku-<wildcard>.org domain pattern whenever possible, such as in > haiku-files.org, the upcoming haiku-art.org, etc. > > If the concern is the inability of the server admins to control the DNS > settings, perhaps it can be arranged for them to have access to the > Godaddy account where these are managed. Ah, I have no concerns about controlling the DNS myself - I simply didn't know that we as a group control the DNS already. I was assuming our current hoster would do so. > Keeping the domains in Godaddy has served us good over the years and > across moves from one hosting provider to another.
