How to Launch a New Website to Replace Your AllProWebTools Website

If you’ve built a new website and want it to replace your current AllProWebTools website, you can do this quickly by updating one simple setting in your DNS.

Step 1: Log In to Your DNS Manager

Start by logging into your DNS Manager. This is where the settings for your domain name are controlled.

Step 2: Find Your A Record

Once inside your DNS Manager, look for the record labeled A (also called an A Record).
The A Record tells the internet where your website is hosted by pointing your domain name (like example.com) to a specific IP address.

Step 3: Update the A Record

To launch your new website, simply change the IP address by clicking the old ip address in the A Record and type in the new ip address provided by your new website hosting company.
This tells the internet to load your new website instead of your old AllProWebTools site.

Step 4: New Login Location

Once your new website is live, the URL you use to login to your AllProWebTools account will change.  Where it used to be something similar to example.com/logmein - it will now be apwt.example.com/logmein.  All of your usernames and passwords will be the same on the new login URL.

That’s it! Once your DNS update finishes, your new website will be live at your domain name, fully replacing your old AllProWebTools website.
