DNS name does not update for quite a while.
It is annoying that I have to run my server for another month to get a ranking of 23 in CS:GO. I want to see if any admins can manually delete the oldzombie.hoursplayed server and replace it with the zombie.hoursplayed one.

http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/oldzombie.hoursplayed.net:27015/
http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/zombie.hoursplayed.net:27015/

The one with the zombie.hoursplayed.net is the new server which I have hosted a server on it before.

Can you please explain the error you are experiencing when you update the old page to zombie.hoursplayed.net?

I want to keep my server rank. Last month I changed the server at 14 percentile (name it #1) to a server that I purchased dedicated for that server (name it #2). But now I want to move the server on #2 back to #1. So I tried editing the DNS name for #1 to #2 (#2 is still running atm. But the hostname of that server points to #1). Basically, swap stats so that I dont have to start over again.

The problem is: DNS name didnt update after I changed it. They are supposed to swap ip's but appearetly that didint happen.

Now it seems that zombie.hoursplayed.net has vanished and I just lost my beautiful server ranking. Can an admin recover it and move it and modify the ip? The IP address should be 124.248.247.134:27015 from now on.

Thanks.

We are not able to recover stats which have been permanently deleted, nor move it for you.

My understanding is that you want to move:

http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/oldzombie.hoursplayed.net:27015/

to

http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/zombie.hoursplayed.net:27015/

You can do this by updating the DNS on the oldzombie server. GT will check the IP the DNS points to daily, or more frequently if the server goes down, and update the page's IP appropriately. Please read the (?) help button next to that feature to understand how it works.

I would not expect it to. If you deleted it or if it was deleted for extended downtime, we won't be able to recover any stats that were permanently removed.

If you have any questions after reading my previous message, feel free to let me know.

Extended downtime.. For like half a day?
Now I have no idea where it is. If I know how to delete it. I wouldve deleted the old one. How do I delete it?
