Hey,

When i had my domains hosted at dreamhost I had NO PROBLEMS with DNS resolving.

I have however been with trexhost (closed), and now with xcelservers, and have had nothing but trouble with DNS resolving.

My domains are hosted with godaddy

With xcelservers 3/4 of the time my pages would display 404 after a time out.

I was told by a friend to register my DNS with no-ip, i have done this, and added the IP addresses for xcelservers DNS as the target ip.

Now every 1 out 3 pages i view work, the other 2 go to xcelservers home page.

What am i doing wrong?

I also had a look at my MX records through my 'reseller WHM' panel - but i don't know how to mess around with these - or know if i should.

Please help me resolve my websites.



I am desperate, as I am trying to rouse interest for a 5 million dollar investment from external 'big business' investors.

Thanks!

Adam

Have you tried contacting xcelservers? It should be as simple as pointing the domain to their DNS servers.

I did do this, and was getting the time out errors as explained above.

Also when i was with dreamhost i had to change something in the back end of godaddy - might this be causing the problem?

Hi. How much time was passeв when you tried to acces to your web sites in new place. Sometimes it can take up about 2 days (48h).
Also clarify nameservers of your ne web hosting company. If company has DNS related troubles the problem have all customers
