I’ve recently transferred over to EE from PlusNet and therefore might website domains needed to be transferred over. I’ve registered a domain with Fasthosts and they have sent a new IP address for the domain to be added to the EE server. How do I get this new IP address uploaded?
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

What EE server? EE do not offer a webhosting service so you will need to host your domain/website somewhere that does.
Domain registration and domain hosting are two distinct services. You pay somebody for registration of the of the domain name every year or two, somebody to look after the DNS records for your domain, and somebody to physically host your website content. These companies are sometimes the same, but they can be different.
At the moment, your domain name still looks to be registered with Plusnet and has not yet transferred to Fasthosts: -
