Hi,

I currently have an ubuntu server at my house, which is live, and can be reached by a public IP. I am now trying to get my domain to point to this IP, using everydns.net (a dns service).

On everydns.net's control panel, i have set everything up, but when i log into my namecheap control panel, to update the nameservers to : ns1.everydns.net, ns2.everydns.net ns3.everydns.net and ns4.everydns.net, it comes up with the following errors;

Failed to get registrar lock
The problem is: The operation timed out

This is a .com domain.

Now i also have a .co.uk at a different registrar: en.clarence.com (company owned b register.it)

After several attempts to use everydns's nameservers, and the whois search at dnsstuff.com not showing a change in ns's (yes i checked for fresh results) i decided to use there dns, and then configure the A and cname entries. However it doesn't seem like the nameservers have updated, and they are still reading my old ones (this is well over 56 hours after i changed it)

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

I think if you contact your domain registrars (namecheap) technical support and give the nameservers hostnames and IPs they can enter them into the template to submit to the registry:

ns1.everydns.net (38.99.14.207)
ns2.everydns.net (216.218.240.206)
ns3.everydns.net (80.84.249.169)
ns4.everydns.net (63.219.183.200)

Hope this helps.
