I have just set up DNS for domain: nzsocietythai.org/ and transfered the domain to my apache server and uploaded all content via ftp. but the site is showing parked , than every 30 mins or so the home page will come up again? When I also go to check in FTP sometimes i can coonect sometimes I cant? Its very strange... I dont know whats wrong?
It just seems like the DNS is going back and forth. Are you sure that you changed both nameservers from the parked ones?
Yes I am certain, but i have a thought that I was playing with the previous domain they had and went into their bakend account which i dont know much about their control panel but i was trying to switch the domain name nzsocietythailand.com over aswell, and i also entered the new domain (nzthaisociety.org) in there aswell, i wanted to try and park the old name with the new one, and send the old domains dns to my new server i dont know if i may of set something wrong in there that effected new domain (nzsocietythai.org)
I will send you $5 via paypal if you could go into the account for me to have a quick look and possibly fix it!
When you first change nameservers, it is normal that this will happen. I suggest you give it 24 hours before you worry. What happens is the nameserver record is different depending on how the request is routed. ISP's retain a local copy of the last request, some do that for up to 48 hours but 24 is the norm.
I am still panic-ing though becuase its a totally fresh domain which i just bought, and I simply sent DNS over to my server, and i have never had this problem before where it switches from being parked aprox every 30 mins. I cant afford to have the site parked like this between 24-48hours. My client will freak out...
My site nzsocietythai.org still showing parked with DNS properly sent to NS1.KODEHOST.CO.UK & NS2.KODEHOST.CO.UK,??? Anyone any ideas?
Dan, When did you bought/register that domain? I mean before how many hours? 24 hours-48 hours - 72 hours?
I didnt change name servers. I just bought the domain 2/05/2007 (yesterday) approx 16 hours ago, and DNS'ed it straight to the server.
I don't believe its of any concern right now either, give it 24-48hrs so that it gets propagated ... after that you can start thinking of what may be wrong Adnan.
ok, thankyou guys maybe i am panicking, but all other domains that i send to DNS server before have been able to upload and be all good immediately...
16 hours since you bought the domain. That may be the default DNS for your registrar. So don't panic. Just login to your account at your domain registrar and manually change the name servers from default(what it is right now) to your hosting company's servers. Bill
After changing the name servers when you get the message "Name Servers are changed successfully." Make sure by checking "whois info" for that domain at your registrar's whois page.
Domain Name Servers (DNS) can take up to 24 hours (depending on your registrar, server loads... ect ect. But typically, its around this time frame) to propogate (or resolve, however you choose to call it). This means the transition can be instantaneous, or it can take several hours or longer. There is absolutely no reason to panic, it's simply the nature of things. I have set DNS servers that have taken 10 minutes to propogate, and have also set some that took close to 24 hours to completely finalize (that is, where the website was constantly being shown and not jumping from the "parked page" to the site). It just takes time... be patient.
Dan, Everything looks ok to me now. Your first site ->nzsocietythailand.com tells the visitors about recent change and provides the link to your new site - nzsocietythai.org. When you go to your new website, it doesn't look like a parking content or parked website (to me). It seems like the original content you uploaded through ftp. If you want, I can upload the screenshot of your new website here so you can get the idea how your website looks like to me here in USA! Bill
