You have to change A records and MX records (if you are using mail on the server) if you change servers.
That is if you host the DNS at a offsite place. I use DNSMadeEasy for all my DNS. There is allot of DNS services out there.
Still, do you change server (IP) you has to update A records (and MX records) every time.
thank you @myhken, do you have a tuto of how to do that?
It's different from all the different DNS hosts. So you have to find a DNS host you want to use (free, cheap, not so cheap etc) and then most likely they have a nice howto guide.
You also have to change all nameservers on your domains to the nameservers of the DNS host first time after you start using them.
After that, you only have to change A records on the DNS host when you change servers.
I just use Cloudflare. The registrar often uses the same NS they had on the other registrar, so no issues with that.
That's like asking, can i move from house to house to house and have my friends visit me without giving out my new address..
@netomx said use a CDN (CloudFlare), what would be the point in doing that, you would still need to login to the cdn and change old ip to new ip, same thing you would do with dns A record.
