Dns Test

[Walle]

Hi,

 

I am looking for a new hosting company and have been running a DNS review to get a look at how well the host servers are managed..

 

When I ran the test it failed..

I have had problems with cpanel hosting - any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forums Walle

What do you mean by failed? Were you perhaps "banned" from the site for abuse? If you use it too many times in a short period you can be banned from the site for excessive use.

 

See if this page has an expanation that fits.

Mad.... Your comments do not make any sense If you read my post and followed the link I gave.

 

The link I posted is a DNS test on your (totalchoicehost) IP - if you paste the link you will see a full DNS test on the site.. it fails several key tests.

 

The results are explained in detail - My question was to the mod about the results of the test.

 

Or you can go to this link http://www.dnsreport.com/

and manually type in totalchoicehosting.com - my link does that for you.

 

******* I reran the test and it passed this time - on three attempts to run this test early this morning the test failed in several key areas*****

 

Mad - your question still did not make any sense..

Without going into all the technical mumbo-jumbo (I'll let the tech & mods do that), I'd like to point out that you only ran a test on one of TCH's many servers. And the only 2 warnings I saw said something to the effect of "it appears that...". I'm sure TCH has much better controls in place. Think of it this way...would you want everyone in the world to know how your home security works and where your spare key is?

 

If you decided to join TCH (which I HIGHLY recommend) I would keep an eye on this. Plus you can subscribe to the forum that corresponds to your server as announcements are always posted there.

 

Good luck in your decision.

I followed the link and nothing failed. So it is my nature to try and help and think of possible other answers to the questions being asked. Sometimes I get lucky, sometimes I fail.

Sorry to bother you. If my attempts to help upset you, ignore them please.

Maybe if you explained what type of problems you've had in the past we can offer you an answer to your query.

 

If you purchase a hosting account here at TCH you will not be placed on the machine that hosts totalchoicehosting.com so running DNS tests to that server really is of no use.

 

I too am a customer here and have had sites hosted here for four years. I've never had any major problems with any of my sites and they are always reachable.
