Hi all,

I have a domain with Dotster.com and a few of days ago I filled out the form to transfer it to weblaunching.net. Before filling out the form I changed the DNS info to go with my new webhost. Now yesterday it was finally pointing to the new webhost. Then suddently it was pointing to the old host. Then today it went back to the new host. Now it is back on the old host again!!!!

What's going on?
:confused: :confused:

Zolbian,

Sounds like your change was updated on one of the nameservers but not the second. Give it another day or two it will clear up when the second NS is updated.

that happened to me once...
i pinged from my computer and it showed that it was pointing to the old host...

while i used one of the web pingers to ping the domain to see that its pointing to the right host...

i've posted here and other places about this... and found out that my ISP must have multiple DNS databases which switch every now and then... which explains the domain pointing to new/old nameservers...

it usually resolves out within a day or two

i use roadrunner btw :)
