hindixp Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 Hi, One of my friend tried to get a domain name, we were having telephonic conversation and i did the order on some indian site on his behalf. I ordered the Domain name after 3-4 minutes Went to WHM to setup a account for him. By the time i was typing mail for him with account details, i noticed the domain was ACTIVE. infact was accessible. FTPable, mails working Thumbs Up While I was wondering how's this happening i got Thanks call for confirmation from the client on phone SURPRISED with instant activation. However, think all this overruled DNS changes, whois data updation. See ya, manu Quote
TCH-Sales Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 Well just because it was active where you and your friend were, doesn't mean it was active anywhere and everywhere. Where domain name registration can be actual instant, no mater where you go you'll have to wait for the standard propagation (24-72 hours). Sounds like this time you might have gotten a lucky break..

section31 Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Something similar also happened to me..i registered a domain with godaddy. Within like 15 minutes, it was on my isp's dns servers...no idea how that happened so quickly. Quote
Talwynor Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 Is there a way to tell if the domain is active short of attempting to FTP there? Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 Ping it. From a system prompt enter ping www.yoursite.com Quote
hindixp Posted April 16, 2004 Author Posted April 16, 2004 Yes i was able to FTP, access mails and all within the first fewminutes. Next time iam able to do so, i post a Live Example here, if you dont mind that. Quote
