i went on the advice of a friend and used dnsreport.com and found some errors and i am not sure what they are or how to fix them. Can some one help?

 

First error:

FAIL - Missing (stealth) nameservers

 

FAIL: You have one or more missing (stealth) nameservers. The following nameserver(s) are listed (at your nameservers) as nameservers for your domain, but are not listed at the the parent nameservers (therefore, they may or may not get used, depending on whether your DNS servers return them in the authority section for other requests, per RFC2181 5.4.1). You need to make sure that these stealth nameservers are working; if they are not responding, you may have serious problems! The DNS Report will not query these servers, so you need to be very careful that they are working properly.

 

ns1.totalchoicehosting.com.ns2.totalchoicehosting.com.

This is listed as an ERROR because there are some cases where nasty problems can occur (if the TTLs vary from the NS records at the root servers and the NS records point to your own domain, for example).

 

 

Second error:

FAIL - Missing nameservers 2

 

ERROR: One or more of the nameservers listed at the parent servers are not listed as NS records at your nameservers. The problem NS records are:

ns5.totalchoicehosting.com.

ns6.totalchoicehosting.com.

 

 

 

These are just 2 of the errors but i figured i would start here and see if anyone could help. there are more errors on the report that i have saved if it would be easier to post the whole report. Maybe one of the other errors are causing these 2.

Hi,

 

You should go to the domain registrar, and change the nameservers to;

ns1.totalchoicehosting.com and

ns2.totalchoicehosting.com

 

which will get rid of most of the 'errors'.

When i try that i get an error that says Nameserver 1 has an invalid TLD.

i don't know what was wrong - i copied and pasted directly from what you typed and kept getting and error so i erased everything and typed it in manually and it worked thanks for the help.

 

Now you say it should take care of almost all of the other errors that are listed on the DNS Report above?
