Update Website Host Changing
#1
Hello y'all

Yesterday I purchased a new hosting plan and a new domain name promo2dayblog.com I also renewed the current promo2day.com domain name for 2 more years. I have put in a request to move the Promo2day forum and blog to the new host. They said it would be done within 5 -7 days. If you have any issues visiting the forum within the next week it might have something to do with this switch. Everything will work out fine and I'm still working hard for our anniversary celebration.

Hi,
Well done moving to a new hosting. This can be a hassle.

Considerations:-

1.
Site should have a 301 redirect from old to new.
old blog https://blog.promo2day.com/
new blog  promo2dayblog.com

site should have a 301 redirect from old to new.

example issue:-
https://www.promo2day.com/showthread.php...642&page=4
has link to  
All those who never won I am still giving Eazy Fix 1-year licenses on the blog
https://blog.promo2day.com/2023/01/19/ea...rst-serve/


Options:-
Have a redirect or site search/ replace -  
blog.promo2day.com
promo2dayblog.com

301 is an HTTP status code sent by a web server to a browser. A 301 signals a permanent redirect from one URL to another, meaning all users that request an old URL will be automatically sent to a new URL. A 301 redirect passes all ranking power from the old URL to the new URL, and is most commonly used when a page has been permanently moved or removed from a website.

The old blogs need to be migrated.



2.
Youtube giveaway has link to the old blog but is text only:-

https://www.youtube.com/@promo2day58

Eazy Fix 100 Licenses Giveaway and Video Review - 23rd January 2023

In the description:-
Giveaway of 100 licenses of Easy Fix by promo2day
https://blog.promo2day.com/2023/01/19...
is text and not a link.
and to old blog url

Youtube needs to point to new blogs.


3.
Consider DNS reverse lookup PTR records. Promo2day does not have PTR records.
if MX record needed.

Have you tested receiving emails @promo2day.com?

Reverse DNS is often used by network administrators and cybersecurity professionals for various purposes, such as:

Email validation: Many email servers perform reverse DNS lookups on incoming email connections to verify that the IP address of the sender's server has a matching domain name. This can help identify and block spam or suspicious email sources.
Network diagnostics: Reverse DNS can aid in troubleshooting network issues by providing additional information about the domain names associated with specific IP addresses. It can be used to identify misconfigurations, verify DNS settings, or investigate suspicious activities.
Security and fraud detection: Reverse DNS can be used as one of the tools to identify potential malicious activities, such as identifying IP addresses associated with phishing attempts, hacking, or botnet activity.

It's important to note that not all IP addresses have reverse DNS entries, as it is up to the owner of the IP address or the hosting provider to set up the reverse DNS records. Additionally, the accuracy of reverse DNS depends on the proper configuration of DNS records by the responsible party.

I had issues accessing the site.  Fine with my phone.
Had issues with my computer accessing the site going through a VPN. Hence 
looked at DNS records.

The forum hosting has been transferred back to One.com

We lost a few posts during this transfer but there should not be any more issues.
