Hello, I bought 3 domains recently from DomainSite. I bought them all at the same checkout and they were all coms. Now I have a strange situation with one of them. I changed the name servers of all and both of them reacted instantly, I was even surprised because when I bought a domain at godaddy I had to wait for about 6 hours for the dns change to work. But the problem is, that one of the three has not changed even after 3 days?! Instead it acts like it is parked or something(I think that looks like parked). When I open it in a browser a strange search engine comes up with a lot of adverts and popups and stuff. I wrote to the support staff of DomainSite two days ago and still no answer. Do you guys happen to have this kind of situation? Is this normal? The domain is: www.technoish.com
It goes to a blog for me. Did you try F5ing when you load the page? If that doesn't work, try clearing your cache.
Yes, I installed Wordpress, it should be the default theme, right? This isn't possible, I've cleared cache, cookies, ctrl+f5 everything! I've even tried in three different browsers: IE, Firefox and Netscape navigator. It's all the same, how could this be? Do I have a spyware or something? When I enter technoish. or www.technoish it gets me to the following page: http://technoish.com/parking.php?domain_name=technoish.com and a strange search engine comes up, sometimes comes up another one with mp3s to download or something. Any ideas what this could be?
Is it an Ad On domain or a primary domain? If it is an ad on you may try deleting the ad on and than re make the ad on domain.. Boulder
I've deleted and recreated the addon, still no joy I guess I will try it from my laptop and see if it is spyware related.. But seriously doubt it, I remember today I tried opening the page from work and it was all the same.. This is strange, ghosts are haunting my domain UPDATE: Tried opening from my laptop, its the same search engine UPDATE 2: I told some of my friends(using the same internet provider which I use) to open it up and they say, that the same page opens up, the same search engine. Also the internet I use at work is from the same provider. Is it possible to be somehow related to my net provider?
ive had this problem recently. I found that restarting the computer worked, this was after contacting my ridiculously unknoledgable ISP customer support. spoke to 5 different people, each time carefully explaining its not a cashe or cookie issue, and every time they gave me the same advice... so in the end it just worked.
Your blog loaded fine for me. What I suspect has happened is that the other two names did not have the dns cached somewhere on your pipeline. When you requested them the request went all the way to the registrar. That domain was for some reason was cached somewhere along the line. My advice is to do nothing for 24 hours, maybe 48 as some hops don't update their dns cache as often as others do. If it is loading for us everything is set correctly.
Thank you for your help guys, my isp won't respond to my phone calls, so I guess I'll be paying them a visit tomorrow for a nice friendly talk
After I got mad that I can't work on my site this weekend, I started pinging www.technoish.com like crazy, then right after that my internet started disconnecting and reconnecting a few times and boom there it was! I finally saw my own blog with my very own eyes ! I'm not sure if all this pinging has something to do with it, but right after that the site started opening and now it's all good! Thanks to all of you who posted, I really appreciate your help.
It would be nice though if someone could explain this whole situation, I'm curious what all this was about.
Well, it can be a few issues :- 1) ISP Caching / Proxy 2) IE Caching 3) Windows Caching As for ISP Caching, there is pretty much nothing you can do until your ISP renews the cache or when it updates their DNS Servers. You could probably change DNS. IE Caching is something that has been dealt with earlier. Windows Caching can be resolved when you go to Windows Command Line and typing 'ipconfig /renew' . This will force your computer to update the cached dns details. Probably in your case, you happened to reach the point of time when your DNS Records are updated.
'ipconfig /flushdns' is the command for flushing out stale DNS records. As said above this is an issue with your ISP. I have no idea what the quality of your ISP's are like over there are, but here in Australia any half decent ISP will not cache web content and will update DNS records quickly from authoritive root name servers. If you think this may be a continuing problem I suggest you find another ISP as they are highly unlikely to change their ways to help one customer.
Yes, now I think that explains it. By the way I forgot to mention, after I did a crazy pinging to the www.technoish.com domain, and my connection got disconnected for a while, I did a repair(right click on the local area connection in network connections in windows) which clears the dns also, maybe that solved it. Thanks for the clearance eddy2099, I think that about sums it all.
Well its pretty sad to mention, but this is the only decent isp around. The only offer better than this is adsl, but since the company offering adsl is the only one in my country and they hold monopoly over it, they give themselves such rights as to limit the service to a ridiculous traffic limit, like for example 512Mb and the prices at which they offer their services are even more ridiculous. I will try to convince my present isp, I have friends working there maybe they could help. By the way, what other harm could caching the web content do to a ordinary end user at the questionable isp, or to some website?
To a normal web user, content caching probably goes completely un-noticed, where it doesn't they don't understand it anyway and just move on. It's usually done as a cost saving exercise at the ISP, even though they probably market it as some sort of 'benefit' for faster browsing.. What country are you in? We've got a lot of talk atm (election year) about better broadband infrastructure here in Australia. We at least have ADSL (ADSL2+ becoming more common) but our international connectivity is holding us back.
