My Site Is Here, But My Old Site Is Still Showing

[Paul Squires]

Hi Everyone,

 

I moved from IExpressHost to TotalChoiceHosting on Thursday, August 28, 2003.

 

IExpressHost suddenly went back on-line today (Saturday, August 30). Strange thing is that my old site appeared this morning when I tried to view my site (http://www.planetsquires.com).

 

I changed the Nameserver entries two days ago and yesterday planetsquires.com resolved to TCH. So, why is the old host now mysteriously showing???? I checked the Whois record and it is showing the Nameservers for my TCH.... I even deleted the entries and re-added them just to be sure. I cleared my brower's cache as well. Anyway, I deleted everything off of my old site and put up a short message indicating that the site had moved in case this is just a lag in DNS updating (would that be the reason???)

 

Is this just a case where I have to wait it out until DNS entries propagate throughout the net??? What concerns me is that all day yesterday planetsquires.com took me to the TCH hosted site, and today it doesn't.

 

I'll never understand all this internet stuff.

 

Thanks,

 

Paul

It's possible you haven't propagated over yet but more than likely an ISP cache (old host or even your own) that hasn't updated yet. Should be ok soon since you initiated it 2 days ago. Usually takes up to 72 hours.

I went to this DNS lookup page and it looks like the domain is resolving correctly on nameservers around the country and world.

 

It is common for these little "blips" in a DNS change. It is likely, as boxturt mentioned, that your ISP has not updated all their nameservers and some what the new address and some still have the old address. Some ISPs are slower than others at updating. It shouldn't take much longer.

Thanks guys, it is now pointing back to the correct site. I guess that time is all it needed. Thumbs Up
