Dear support,

My site has been down the past few days. Having tried accessing it on it's url http://thethirdbridge.x10hosting.com/ I got the message that a database connection could not be established. I logged into my account and noticed that the MySQL server is now called borunew rather than mysql-boru and so I thought that I just had to update my wordpress wp-config.php to reflect the new MySQL URL. So I updated mysql-boru.x10hosting.com with borunew.x10hosting.com

I now appear to at least be able to retrieve stuff from the database, but I'm not entirely convinced this was all I needed to change. My previously parked domain name www.thethirdbridge.org.uk still doesn't respond to anything when I try to access it. Are there new IP details here that I also need to update?

I'm also a little surprised that all this was neccessary - if URLs and details needed updating I would have been expected to be notified, so I guess that's why I'm writing this to check I'm not jumping the gun so to speak - and actually I should not change anything but that the downtime will be resolved soon without any issue.

Thanks.

If you have configured your domain using ns1.x10hosting.com and ns2.x10hosting.com, then the IP will be automatically changed. Else, you need to manually point it to your new server IP. Also, for MySQL, your host is localhost.
