If you are transferring your domain (website) to Truepath.com for web hosting, your new website on Truepath’s web servers will not be available for visitors to access online until the DNS settings are updated. The DNS update affects where your visitors and email are sent. When you are moving your website from one hosting company to another, you may want to schedule a brief overlap in order to accommodate building your new website at Truepath.com. In order to minimize downtime for your website during that transitional period, you can force your computer to go to Truepath’s web server while you are building your new website by adding an entry to the hosts file on your computer. All other visitors will still be directed to your current website.
