Probedude Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I ran a DNS check on a domain name I purchased today and this is the screenshot of the "problems" it found. Are these legitimate problems that I should be worried about? What do these errors mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Andy Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 It looks as if you have your DNS set to the wrong nameservers. The correct ones will be in your welcome email. If you let us know the domain name, we'll check it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Probedude Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 (edited) It looks as if you have your DNS set to the wrong nameservers. The correct ones will be in your welcome email. If you let us know the domain name, we'll check it for you. Andy, I went to change them in my Domain admin menu yesterday but left is as is because of this text in that menu. If your domain(s) are hosted here, choose 'Default Hosting Nameservers.' If your domain(s) are parked here, choose 'Default Parked Nameservers.' If your domain(s) are hosted somewhere else, choose 'Custom Nameservers.' Default Hosting Nameservers (DNS3.TOTALCHOICEHOSTING.COM, DNS4.TOTALCHOICEHOSTING.COM) Default Parked Nameservers (NS1.TOTALCHOICEHOSTING.COM, NS2.TOTALCHOICEHOSTING.COM) Custom Nameservers I took this to mean that if TCH is hosting my domain I should leave them as DNS3 and DNS4.. . . Did I misinterpret this or is the info on that webpage incorrect? edit: I just clicked the 2nd choice for "parked domains" and now I can ping by name (rincongeoscience.com) What do these choices mean?

TCH-Andy Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 It depends which server you are on as to which nameservers you should use. The correct ones should be in your welcome email. For your domain ns1.totalchoicehosting.com and ns2.totalchoicehosting.com is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
