netsol doman propagation issue

    I had one of my domains with netsol expire and get deactivated. they have been having a lot of issues with phishing email about domain expiration and what not. my domain used to have auto renew and for some reason it was deactivated.

    in anycase after complaining they waived the activation fee. they told me to wait 24 hours for the dns to propagate. the domain information has since propagated for my service area.

    the problem is that only half of my site is showing up and the rest is redirecting to a network solutions advert filled renewal page.

    is this normal or is netsol trying to screw ppl that let their domains expire?

    btw i called them and they claim that this is normal and it will take the full 24 hours for all the pages to be propagated. they claim that domain/dns propagation not only updates the domain dns info but also for the individual pages on the site. ??? arrr what the hell...

    thanks,

    It's easy for one to conclude they're getting "screwed" when they clearly do
    not know how that process works, much more care to.

    When you said "only half of my site is showing up", do you mean some people
    are able to see your domain name's actual site while others are still seeing the
    advert page?

    Assuming your domain name is using the correct nameservers, then what you
    described is "normal". You might have been told before that it can take about
    24 hours to take full effect around the world after changing the domain name's
    DNS.

    Anytime a domain name's DNS or nameservers changed for whatever reason,
    it does take a while for every computer logged into the 'net to "catch on". No
    single party controls all the factors involved in how soon a domain name will
    resolve to its intended destination online anywhere anytime.

    This is something neither you, netsol, nor any of us can do anything about. It
    is just a matter of how soon everybody sees the change take effect in their
    side.

    I guess that's one way of seeing it if people think they have absolute exclusive
    rights to a domain name no matter what state it's in, which is not accurate.
