They DONT do DNS changes only www A, CNAME, mx etc So you can have your domain with them and change your host but be aware if the ip of your host changes the website goes down- has happened to me wont let it happen again - get the client to transfer their domain to another provider which does DNS Eircom if you read this you are losing business!

That's all, maybe it's because we do allow all these types of changes here. Regards Dave Hi Peter,

It’s a word “can’t” I have issues with really, their company policy doesn’t allow the owner of the domain to do with it as they wish.

That’s all, maybe it’s because we do allow all these types of changes here.

Regards

Dave

They say you can't change the nameservers but you can request changes to the A record. Couldn't you simply request the A record change to point to the new host (and mx record if you want to transfer email to new host as well)? That’s not how I read it.
