 | View Full Version : Domain resolve time fewcoin 03-21-2003, 10:58 AM I changed two domain dns's from a registrar to a hosting service. It took 96 hours for one domain to resolve. The other is still not resolving. Is this amount of time normal? What do you suppose happens to take so long? Thanks!.. Just wondering. -RJ- 03-22-2003, 06:08 AM It depends on the registrar the domain is with, but 96 hours is a long time for any company. Where was the domain at? eNom DNS changes are usually propagated within 12 to 18 hours. Other registrars I have used have taken up to 36 hours, but none as long as you mentioned. Eric Lim 03-22-2003, 06:14 AM It would either depend on the domain registrar or the local ISP you're on. To check the updated status of your domain DNS changing, try http://www.internic.net/whois.html If the DNS still shows the old one, you can email or call your current domain registrar for a prompt solutions. If the updated information is shown on the page, then it may be your local ISP. Every ISP company has more than one cluster. They may flush some of them but not all, so contact your ISP would be better if a domain is not resolved for more than 72 hours and internic.net shows the updated information. fewcoin 03-23-2003, 12:58 PM One domain was at Godaddy. The second one at Registrydomains. Oddly, they both took about the same amount of time to resolve. This inordinate time created some extra hassles. After 60 hours, I began to think something was wrong at the host so I plagued them with emails and they double checked and found nothing wrong at their end. Anyway they are both working now. Thanks for the replies. fewcoin 03-23-2003, 01:02 PM I forgot to mention, It was for the "addon" domains feature, so I thought I entered it wrong at the host. placrosse 03-23-2003, 07:34 PM You can check to make sure that the domain you're transferring is actually in the host's DNS before you transfer, just to be certain that your domain WILL resolve once it has fully propagated. Use the program dig to do this and replace ns1.nameserver.com and domain.com with your respective nameserver and domain. dig @ns1.nameserver.com domain.com any If you see any A records under the ;ANSWER SECTION for your domain, then you're good to go |
