Walkthroughs
Manage them safely
You edit the DNS plan file locally and the agent shows the diff so you review the change before it is applied to your provider. It works well. The agent edits the file and displays the exact lines changed. You check the diff in Ask first mode and approve the update. This method supports website migration by keeping your records under control. Is traditional web hosting dying in the modern era of self-management? The tool reads the current configuration and writes the new entry. You verify the result with a web search or local test.
Handling the move
You begin by backing up the current site files and database on the old server, and the agent uses list_dir to see the file structure. Lower the TTL. Many users are asking about creating a semi private web server for their internal tools. The agent copies the files over SSH to the new server. You ask it to update the document root in the new server config. It edits the file and shows the diff before you approve the change. The agent then tests the new server by fetching the homepage with http_get. You update the DNS configuration on your registrar to point to the new server.
What Hostcraft Desk does not do
This notice applies only to your own files, PC and servers you are authorised to use. You keep the work within them. Shell, web and SSH are not folder-bound. No guarantee that code, scans or analysis are correct.
