Hi everyone Can anyone explain me what is a third party dns ? i bought some domains from godaddy and I am parking them at namedrive but apparently there is one with a third party dns... This is the email i got from godaddy support The domain name **********.COM does have third party DNS and we are unable to troubleshoot it. If you wish to have DNS with GoDaddy, you will need to park your domain on our servers. what is a third party dns ? How can i fix this ? Many thanks c.
Third party means that the DNS record does not contain godaddy`s DNS and using something else, maybe something unresolvable for godaddy. 1. Make sure you spell the DNS host properly and that the DNS server is not down (try pinging it maybe). 2. Make sure you put the DNS in a proper section in godaddy domain panel. As far as i remember, they have two tabs for DNS, one for godaddy`s and another for any other DNS.
hi thanks for your reply Can you explain me what is pinging ? I am pretty sure i spell the DNS host properly and that the DNS server is not down since all my other domains are working fine... Any other toughts ? Thanks c.
PINGING Type the following in Run Command (Start Menu) or Command Prompt ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP If there is a reply, then the DNS Server is working, if it says "Request Timed Out", then the DNS Server is down. Thanks & Regards, ManeeL Services
