Hi, I have a big problem. Few months back I switched one of my sites to another host. Since then, traffic dropped significantly with no obvious reason. Yesterday I browsed the web from another PC which use another ISP and find out that my site is not accessible. I tried today, it's the same (I thought it's network broken for this ISP, but it is not). What is the case here? Error in DNS? Any input/idea/suggestion VERY MUCH appreciated. TIA
Most likely a DNS issue. Next time when you face this - run ping & tracert on command prompt. Ping would let you know that name is resolving properly and tracert would give you an indication where does the request stop / die out ... HTH
Plug your domain into www.host-tracker.com to see if it's an isolated case. It should specify what the exact problem is, too. Jay
I have dedicated server at hostgator. I sold domain that was main my for my account and had to change everything. Their stuff setup another domain as a main domain, I setup new NS servers and there problems start. I find out this: main domain works fine, none of other on the same server is ok (visible from some locations from some not).
we had similar thread just a week or so earlier. same applies to you as well i.e. 1. make a redirect from OLD host to NEW host 2. make sure your NS are properly UPDATED to point to NEW host/server-IP 3. make sure YOU understand that BY FAR NOT all ISPs update THEIR NS every 24 hrs as is default. SOME do update their own ISP NS every several WEEKS = means in the meantime all traffic gets lost unless YOU have a redirect ON OLD host TO new host.
