# How to migrate my domain


# Tutorial: Subdomain Migration to the New CNAME

This guide explains how to migrate your subdomain from the old CNAME ( `domains.cloakup.me`) to the new one: `cname.cloakup-dns.com`.

* * *

## 📝 Prerequisites

• Access to your **DNS provider's** panel (e.g., Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Hostinger).

* * *

## 🛠️ Step-by-Step Guide

### 1. Access the DNS Provider Panel

• Log into your DNS provider account.  
• Navigate to the **DNS records** management section of your domain.

* * *

### 2. Locate the Old CNAME Record

• Look for the existing CNAME record with the value `domains.cloakup.me`.

* * *

### 3. Update the CNAME Record

• **Edit** the old record or **create a new one** with the following value: `cname.cloakup-dns.com`.

**Notes:**

* If `86400` (24 hours) is not available, select the highest possible TTL.
* Propagation may take **up to 4 hours**.

* * *

### 4. Click "Migrate"

• After updating the CNAME, return to the Cloakup platform.  
• Click the "**Migrate**" button to confirm the change.

* * *

### 5. Click "Verify" Domain Again

* After clicking "Migrate," you will need to click "Verify" to complete the setup.

* * *

### 6. Verify the Migration

* Wait for full propagation.
* Use tools like [DNS Checker](https://dnschecker.org/) to confirm if the new CNAME is active.

* * *

## ❌ Troubleshooting

* **Issue:** Migration not completed after 4 hours.
    **Solution:**

1. Verify that the CNAME was correctly saved in the DNS.
2. Clear your browser cache or test on a different network.
3. Contact your DNS provider's support if necessary.

* * *

✅ Done! Your subdomain is now linked to the new CNAME.
