Upgraded from shared hosting to a Virtual server and...dont know how to begin!

[SpockBert]

Hi, I'm familiar with shared hosting but a complete novice to virtual servers, I'm getting the following error message when I go to my new virtual server IP http://62.***.***.76/:

If you see this page it means:
1. hosting for this domain is not configured
or
2. there's no such domain registered in Parallels Plesk Control Panel 

Now am I getting that because...

a) I need to set something up in the PLESK control panel thing or

b) Is it a DNS issue? Its only been 30 hours since the migration from shared hosting.

I was told when I upgraded that I wouldn't have to do anything and there would be no interruption as the site www.mydomain.com would continue to use the shared hosting until the virtual one was set.

Is it a question of waiting for the DNS to update so it points to http://62.***.***.76/: or do I have to set something up?

Cheers, all feedback appreciated!

Hi,

you can either wait until nslookup shows that your domain name resolves to the new IP, or edit the hosts file on your computer, and then try to view your domain
You will not necessarily see any web content at any time when you use the ip rather than the domain name

If you enter the IP address directly into the browser, there should be no DNS issues. DNS only deals with domain names. No domain, no DNS.

I would contact your host and just see what's up.
