Last week I successfully published my new web site that I created in Publisher 2003. I made edits a re-published a few times without any problems. Then on Friday, the host moved my web site to a new server.

Now I cannot re-publish edits to my site, because when I click "Publish to the Web" it is still trying to direct publishing to the original server.

Does anyone know how to direct an existing site (created in Pub 2003) to a different server? I have the hostname, user name and password - but where do I make those changes? Thanks!

A host can move your web to a another server at any time. It's pretty
common, I think mine was moved 3 times this past year. anyway, the only
thing it effects is that it may take a few hours for the DNS to update
meaning you might not be able to upload using the domain name for that
period. You would have to use the IP address. There are workarounds that
some hosts use.
If you are sure you have the correct uploading url and username and password
then just wait a few hours more. Or contact the host and verify that they
did not make a mistake in the setup of the web on the new server.
Nothing changes on your end regardless of your product (publisher,
frontpage, etc.) you still use the same url, username, and password.
