Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : My websites wont show.

[R. Solutions]

Im not sure what it is, but none of my websites show up. Other users can see my sites, but i cant.

Why is this happening?

[FluffyTigger]

Your ISP's DNS problem? Happen whenever I move ip# for web sites.

[Oceanworld]

It can be a lot of reasons. Can you tell us the sites?

[R. Solutions]

my sites would be...


charminglayouts.com
perfectedprofiles.com
drift240sx.com

i have more, under the same host.

[FluffyTigger]

Have you just moved host? The local ISP cache your DNS settings, some of them don't update all that often. Sometimes it take 20 mins, sometimes it take 48 hours.

I can reach all your site fine.

[Tailseh]

I can get to your site just fine, are you able to ping the ip address of the server? Maybe there is a firewall ban on you?

(btw, your perfectedprofiles site is awesome =D)

Are yer running any sort of like web server on the local PC that might possibly overrode ye ole localhost file and thus you're getting directed back to your PC when it should of went and gotten a DNS resolution?

2 week's too long, longest I've had ISP DNS cache problem was with AOL for like 5 days. Do a ping charminglayouts.com , it should return the IP number it's pinging, is it the same number as the site is supposed to be on?

Charminglayouts.com A record point to 66.79.186.173

Well, i dont think im runnin a web server on my pc porsay. I have a webserver to host my sites though.

I did a ping for my charminglayouts -

www.charminglayouts.com ONLINE 35.74 ms

Is what i got.

[R. Solutions]

Any other help on this?

[avythe]

Start -> Run -> cmd -> nslookup www.charminglayouts.com

See if you get 66.79.186.173 - if not, either you or your ISP is caching it.

R. Solutions,

Did you go to the cmd prompt and try nslooup yet? Can you view your sites. What is your status? Who is your ISP?

I did it, and it does come back as that IP address. But still cant view my site.

[Scott.Mc]

Your nameservers appear to be responding fine and you are resolving the IP, can you ping it?

go to start->run->cmd and ping -n 10 charminglayouts.com

If you get timeouts it's possible you are being firewalled a traceroute will show that,

instead of ping -n 10 use tracert charminglayouts.com

However, if you can ping your site but cannot browse, you browser may be screwed. I imagine you can get to other sites? Did you say whether you had Norton Internet Security, McAfee Security Center, Zone Alarm, Panda Security, Trend Micro Something? Do you have any other computers in the house?
