AlphaJoe Posted February 12, 2004 Posted February 12, 2004 I am a new TCH customer, and I was wondering, do you guys create the www 'A' record in the dns for my domain? The reason I ask is, I have been waiting for the name to propagate and some of the name servers out there now resolve the domain name, but they find nothing when I use the www host id. Oh, the domain is josephbrandibas.com if you want to try it. when I try and lookup www.josephbrandibas.com anywhere I get nothing, but I do find josephbrandibas.com. Thanks JoeB Quote
TCH-Rick Posted February 12, 2004 Posted February 12, 2004 An 'A' Record for www is set up on all accounts. The site is resolving for me both with and without the www in front. You can see that it is resolving at other nameservers at this link. Quote

I also notice that it doesn't resolve in Cancun yet <darn, that was my target audience > JoeB Quote

jslagle Posted February 12, 2004 Posted February 12, 2004 The unwritten rule of DNS propagation seems to be that the person who most wants to view the new site is the last person who is able to your site resolves for me with both versions. @45 seconds or so to load the home page. I'm on dialup today. Quote

I'm on dialup today. Yeah. Most people don't realize you can do an ipconfig /flushdns (on windows NT 4.0 and above) to force it to go out and get a new dns entry. I didn't realize that Windows remembered that an ip didn't exist, I thought it only registered the old entries of names that changed addresses. Once I realized that, I flushed my dns cache and walah! my site came up. :Nerd: JoeB PS I suppose I could turn the compression up on my coming soon page, but the site will be live very soon, so I think I will let uit wait til then.
