Changed IP but want to keep rank (I use DNS)

So I am changing IP, and I claimed the new servers IP on here and set the DNS to the same as the old one but now the old one just links to the new one and I have lost my rank.

The two servers are apart of my clan here: https://www.gametracker.com/clan/CloudGaming/

The new IP is: 208.103.169.209
The old IP is: 185.177.22.71

Is there anyway I can get my old rank back?

There is never a need to add the new server.
Simply make sure the original server is using dns and change your dns settings.

It takes time for changes to take effect.

About that long.

It is usually much quicker if you simply make the server page dns and 'point' your dns at the new IP.

I think that you deleted the new server after 5 hours slowed the process as well.
Gametracker normally queries the dns for an IP change just once in 24 hours.
