Host Will Only Update Domain Name Server (DNS) In Batches, Takes Several Hours For A DNS Change, Normal?
Feb 10, 2009
Host will only update DNS in batches, takes several hours for a DNS change, is that normal?
Well today my mail stopped working and it turns out the A record for mail was deleted. How it got deleted I don't know.
I called my host and after speaking to 2 techs, they said that have added my request to a batch, and that would update in a few hours.
I said to him, batch? What can't you do it instantly?
He said thats not the way their DNS works and any DNS change would affect thousands of other sites they are hosting.
Does anyone know what kind of dns system these people could possibly have where they can not reload a single zone?
And by affected, I think he means the sites will go down for a minute or so, while it relaods every zone. Is this really the case, or are these people just idiots?

I changed my sites IP address via cpanel, but now it doesn't show up in a web broswer, I check out cpanel's website for information about this issue, and they posted this:
"It may take up to 48 hours for DNS servers to register the change and the site may not be associated with the new IP address during that time period."
is that true? change the sites IP address will take 48 hours to show up? I figured since it was all local IP stuff, it'll be a instant change and working instantly. since the name servers are all the same, ect.
anyone shed some light. I just wanted to know if I should give it a day to start working? or as of right now, I feel like I need to fix a cpanel error... but if its true, then everything is ok

I am running CentOS 5.10 (Final) with Plesk 11.5.30 Update #44 and since a few days have the strangest problem with incoming emails from certain hosts.
The email from known senders produces a relaylock message like:
/var/qmail/bin/relaylock [12345]: mail from 80.80.80.80:59595 (mail.hostname.com)
From what I was able to gather this is regular behaviour with plesk and qmail, indicating that the senders' mailserver has made contact.
Then nothing happens. For hours. 7-10 to be exact. Then the mail is being processed and delivered.

Has anyone helped clients transition from one domain to another? Maybe dissolving a partnership or renaming their company... so a new domain name has been registered and a new website created.
2 Issues:
#1 Using .htaccess 301 redirect
We used the following command line in their old website's htaccess file
Redirect 301 / [url]
The goal was to get people try to visit any page of their old website (i.e. OldWebsite.com/contact.html) redirected to their new website (i.e. NewWebsite.com/contact.html). Isn't that supposed to change the address bar's URL, too? For some reason, I visit their old site and I seem to be redirected to their new website but the address bar still has their old domain name? Something is going on???
#2 Having their new company name for 2 years now. People can enter her new company name in Google, MSN or Yahoo. Her new company name appears in the search results but has the old domain name associated with it. We are trying to get rid of any reference to that old domain name? What's the easiest way to do this? So what people see in search engines is:
New Company
Short Meta Description
www.OldDomain.com
What steps did I miss in this transition?
What steps do I have to take on their old website/old web server to control it's appearance on search engines and make sure people get to the new website?

Somebody posted a video in my website which got viral. Many big websites (like gizmodo) embeded it and I've maxed out my 100mbit/s connection. Traffic is increasing and my website started crashing.
I want to move that video to other server ASAP so my website would stop crashing.
Do you know any host which would set up server or VPS fast (up to 1-2 hours)?

Hostzio is down still, so I'm planning on moving my websites to yet another server/reselling account. I was wondering if my account with Hostzio is still active, if I can transfer the domains to another server without any problems? There would be about 10 domains I'd have to transfer from my old account to the new one.

i have a dedicated server with 5 usable IP's in range xxx.242 to xxx.246
xx.xxx.120.242 <-- main shared IP
xx.xxx.120.243
xx.xxx.120.244 <-- in use by my nameservers
xx.xxx.120.245 <-- in use by my nameservers
xx.xxx.120.246
When i select in WHM "Change Site's IP Address " and the account i want to change it shows me a drop down menu with the ip's of the nameservers AND the
xx.xxx.120.243
If i select that one the domain in the account shows the apache default page only inmediately.
I don't know why the xx.xxx.120.246 ip doesn't show or why the nameserver ip's appear because they are in use.
Do i need to wait for propagation or is this an error?

I have upgraded to a new server and need to move all domains, users, and most important all email accounts to the new server.
Both servers run Plesk 11.0.9 on CentOS. The migration manager works great, no problems with that.
After migrating, I change my DNS settings at an external DNS provider to the new IP. The problem is, DNS changes take time. I then get emails on the old server and on the new server until DNS information is spread.
I was searching for a way to let the old server forward to the new one, but changes for specific domains in plesks DNS system (MX record) on the old server did not work. The mails still arrived at the old server.
What can i do? Can I uncheck "Activate mail service on domain" and will all emails be rejected until DNS points to the new server? Or will that lead to bounces?

change the webmail from Plesk over
/usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom/domainWebmail.php
thats working without a problem if i change the Webmail Subdomain from one to another.
But i want to change the webmail from
webmail.domain.tld

The following change in domainWebmail.php does not work:
ServerAlias "<?php echo $VAR->domain->asciiName ?>/webmail"
<?php foreach ($VAR->domain->mailAliases AS $alias): ?>
ServerAlias "<?php echo $alias->asciiName ?>/webmail"

I do a ps aux, and get a bunch of:
/usr/sbin/httpd
Each one takes up like 4% of the available ram - and when the ram is gone, the server dies (it doesn't have a swap file - half the time you can't even log in to it), and you have to reboot Apache.
I thought of limiting maxchilds, but would that break something else?
Should I just make a swap file? Will that defeat the point of creating child processes?

I wonder if there is any chance to change the domain that is being shown as the incoming/outgoing mail server to users of the Plesk Panel, when clicking on the "Info"-Icon near an e-mail-account in the mail list (see screenshot).
We only have a SSL certificate for one domain and want our customers to use this domain in their mail client settings, so that the client trusts the domain.

I know it takes 24-48 hours for new domains to resolve and all that stuff.
But I was wondering. Say I am using my Registrar's DNS and I made 2 subdomains NS1.DOMAIN.COM and NS2.DOMAIN.COM and their A records point to my server.
Say I switch my websites to another server and my domains have the same name servers, NS1.DOMAIN.COM and NS2.DOMAIN.COM, but I change their A records instead, shouldn't the update be INSTANT? I mean, people should be instantly be able to access the new server as soon as I change the A records, right?
Because, currently, when I use the registrar's DNS and nameservers NS1.MYREGISTRAR.COM and NS2.MYREGISTRAR.COM and if I want to switch server, I just change the A record of WWW.DOMAIN.COM and I can INSTANTLY access the other server through my domain.
Shouldn't the same rule apply if I make custom NS1.DOMAIN.COM and NS2.DOMAIN.COM and use them as my nameserver istead of NS1.MYREGISTRAR.COM and NS2.MYREGISTRAR.COM?

We had many backups stored on our Plesk 12 server about 51 GB in total.
After reducing the backups back to 10 GB by removing old backups through the Backup Manager.
The issue is that Health Monitor still reported that there was low diskspace displayed by color yellow. And it look Health Monitor over 16 minutes to change the alarm level from Yellow to Green
However the statistics at the specific subscription still present the Backup usage of 51 GB's whilest they are no longer there.
What can i do about this in order to speed up the synchronization?

I'm new to Apache. I'm using a version 2.4 for Windows 7. It didn't come in as an .msi so I had to configure the appropriate web-server name via the httpd text document.
Each time I go to http://localhost, I am present with a page with the content "It works." I tried adding a different .html file into the directory to see if I could access that also, but I was not able to navigate to it via the address bar. So I edited the content of index.html from 'It works!' to "It works?!!!" but sadly, the actual page is still showing 'It works!' for its content (Rather ironic, huh?).
So, for whatever reason, the actual 'localhost' page isn't updating or even noticing any of my edits in what I presume to be the correct directory.
Here's my httpd document for referenc [URL] ....

I'm SURE this is me being stupid but I cannot find where to change folder permissions in the new Plesk interface?
I go to the file manager but all I have are the basic file/folder operations (Create, Delete, Upload File, etc) - I can't find anywhere to change permissions on the folders to give the MYSERVER_IUSR permission, etc.

Well, the ns1.NAME.com and ns2.NAME.com is done. It works and links to the right place.
My host name is "dog.NAME.com" and links to the main server IP (example 1.1.1.1). So when i try to do this:
1.1.1.1/~NAME, it redirects me to dog.NAME.com which is good but then dog.NAME.com can't be found.
Server not found is the exact error i get. The IP works. i don't know what i am doing wrong.
My host said they will charge me to fix it, so i am relaying on you guys to save me money.
