I believe this has to do with some server settings, im not sure. My domain MJHQ.net randomly does not work. It's been this way for months now, well actually ever since i registered it with namecheap. I have many other domains registered with the same registrant (namecheap), and they are all connected to the same nameservers, and yet they never fail. Many times i try to goto it and opendns automatically directs me to their pages http://guide.opendns.com/?url=www.mjhq.net&servfail and when i click one "which nameservers are failing" it says so they are working and never down. the other domains connect perfectly. It's not just some cache problem in my browser or anything either because it does the same thing in other browsers such as IE and opera. Usually when i close my browsers and reopen them and goto the site it'll work, so its very weird. Anyone know why this could be happening? thanks
One way of finding out if it is a local DNS problem: Start>Run>CMD ipconfig /flushdns this should empty all local dns entries, then see if it resolves. Perhaps move the domain control to someone like Zonedit and control the dns from there?
that didnt help. It's been doing this randomly for the past months, and since then i have reformatted my pc several times, so i don't think that its anything on my machine. I think its totally weird and makes no sense. AS i said before, why would it do it with only this one domain and not the others?
bash-3.2$ for i in dns1.squigglehost.com dns2.squigglehost.com dns3.fireballhost.com dns4.fireballhost.com;do dig @$i MJHQ.net +short; done209.250.244.66 209.250.244.66 209.250.244.66 209.250.244.66 DNS servers for the domain seem to be responding with the correct ip
The problem is what you have at your registry does not match what is in the server.. look at this http://www.intodns.com/mjhq.net that is what it says you have at your domain registrar ns1.snapcite.com. ['209.250.244.84'] ns2.snapcite.com. ['209.250.244.85'] This is what you have in your server dns3.fireballhost.com ['209.250.244.69'] [TTL=86400] dns4.fireballhost.com ['209.250.244.66'] [TTL=86400] dns1.squigglehost.com ['209.250.244.75'] [TTL=86400] dns2.squigglehost.com ['209.250.244.76'] [TTL=86400] that is what it says you have in the server they all have to match or you will have this problem for ever where some times it will work and some times it will not.. edit your dns in the server (your account) to match what you have at the registry. the ips are even different. I am surprised it even works at all..
