What is the easiest/best way to update all DNS settings

[terry19]

I am in the process of moving a website from one hosting company to another and I need to change all the DNS settings in Cloudflare etc., however, I wonder if it is best to delete the active web profile and re-add it when the transfer has completed or change each DNS entry etc., and hope I get it right !

If anyone has done this before, like to know how it went !

Thanks in advance
