Im Looking to point the domain name to a different hosting server. The current advanced DNS Entries include the original BT MX , FTP and MAIL then its just these two new entries....

 

CNAME WWW ianlawson.com.  

A WWW 83.222.232.116

 

It appears that they are not updating and each 24 hours they appear to have disspaeared ? 

 

The hosting server is 83.222.232.116 , the zone file has already been set-up at the hosting end but appears the DNS entires added are being rejected or not saved. 

 

Thanks

You seem to have set up two contradictory "www" records.  You really should only have one, in this instance, random things may happen.

It's important to know that a CNAME record should point to a valid server name (CNAME=Canonical name) such as:

webserver.mydomain.me
