Qwest/Centurylink merger technical question

I have been hearing that Qwest is becoming CenturyLink. What I am wondering is when they are done with the change-over, will the IP hostnames change? Right now they are still [XXXX.qwest.net]. Will this become something else, like XXXX.centurylink.net?

When is this going to be done anyway?

Does it make a difference?

I am using my line to host an HTTP server, and I need to know what to expect and watch for.

While this doesn’t answer your question, you should be using your own DNS for this. If you have a static IP, you probably know what to do. If you don’t, many quality dynamic DNS providers do this for little to no cost.

Can't answer how it will go. But my 'pacbell.net' host name did not change after SBC bought The Pacific Telesis Group, nor did it change after SBC bought AT&T and rebranded.

My youngest sister's email is still in the 'embarqmail.com' domain, even after the CenturyLink buyout.
