It's been a while I'm into web hosting and I know I have to wait up to 72 hours for DNS to propagate.
I've got that weird problem since I changed host, my DNS stays the same as before, even if I migrated since over a week.
I did the ipflush thing and it did not work. It seems like my computer WON'T update the DNS on this single domain.
I've got 2 computers at home and my other computer has updated, but my other won't update.
Hi basically the title says it all I have just finally taken the great plunge of registering a domain name, went with 1and1 and in the status pane of the control panel its status is 'waiting for approval'? anyone else experienced this? how long does it usually take? Is this normal?
View 14 Replies View RelatedAbout a week ago, I registered gotcha-290.com using. I have registered 4 other names with them - no problems. I set the nameservers, and waited for them to propagate. Two days later, no success, so I changed the nameservers to ones that I knew were working for me. It appears not be completing this "propagation" cycle. Some whois shows nothing...and some show nameservers, and some say no ip assigned...

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a yahoo domain and I plan to move it to a new host. i know it may take 24-48 hours for the new DNS to propagate.
my question is. Is it possible to forward my domain while DNS is being propagated? So my user will be taken to another website while dns is propagated.
I have access to domain forwarding as well as DNS change through my yahoo domain control panel
Thank you to all.
I've not posted feedback for past providers that haven't been so good, but due to bad service and a lack of refund after nearly 2 weeks, I really need to post my situation.
The site is pc-core.net, and they have had some fairly decent offers going on WHT.
After 5 days of good service from the dedicated provider PC Core, I ran into possibly the worst 10 days of running a website I’ve ever encountered and a further 12 days without a refund.
Here’s my story.
I signed up for a dedicated host in September, and my machine was made active on 25/09.
The server went down 5 days later on 30/09, and it took more than 24 hours to get it back up. So now we’re running on late 01 Oct 2008, but slow and sometimes unresponsive. The site then goes down completely on 05 Oct 2008. A response on 06 Oct 2008 saying they’re looking into the situation. Had to then wait 2 days, and post 3 replies to get a response on 08 Oct 2008.
One last response on 09 Oct from support, then I had to update the ticket 10 times to get another reply on 14 Oct 2008.
The server was down for 9 days with little to no response from the tech support, despite me continually trying to contact them.
Server back online briefly, then down again on 15 Oct 2008.
On 16 Oct 2008 I placed a ticket applying for a refund, which should be instant and my account cancelled instantly. Refund request finally got through on the 18th, server down but my account on their site is still live (so I’m still being invoiced via PayPal).
Their refund policy:
If for any reason you are unhappy with our service, and wish to leave during the first 30-days, PC Core will refund your purchase price less applicable fees in full.
It’s now 30 Oct and as I write this I’m still waiting for a refund (12 days waiting for a refund, still no response), still waiting for my account to be cancelled and I’ve posted numerous tickets asking for an update during the last 12 days.
I was told that they may pay me for the remaining days I had left after cancelling.
Surely a full refund is in order? Or at least the downtime and remaining time for the month.
I’ve been with 4,5 dedicated providers in the last two, three years but I have never seen any take more than 5 days to respond to server downtime, it’s appauling. The only thing going for the provider during my month with PC Core was that the staff were kind and helpful when they were around to give it.
I have setup a new account through a reseller that supplies a shared IP. The way I have installed WordPress in the past is to use "localhost" as the MySQL database host name.
The problem is that I want to complete the installation and style the site before I transfer the domain name and propagate the DNS settings. I am currently receiving errors that say "Error establishing a database connection".
I have also tried several variations of the shared IP address in place of the "localhost". So instead of using "localhost" I have tried using the link if I were to preview the site, for example [url]
Can someone tell me if it is possible to replace the string entry of "localhost" with a number or something else so that I can complete the installation of WordPress?
I recently set up a domain just the same way as a previous one. The old works, the new not. On the ui level they look the same:
plesk db "select * from dns_zone where id>12"
| id | name | displayName | status | syncSoa | syncRecords | email | serial | external_id |
| 13 | rubyclerks.org | rubyclerks.org | 0 | true | skip | torsten.ruger@gmail.com | 2015050605 |
| 15 | salama-vm.org | salama-vm.org | 0 | skip | skip | torsten.ruger@gmail.com | 2015051004 |
I cut out some stuff after email that is the same for both.
What I wonder is what the syncSoa=skip means and why it would be there ?
I did have this issue [URL] ....

I am currently running DA on my VPS and have about 15-20 accounts on it. We are upgrading to a dedicated running plesk while we need it, but I have not found a tool or an easy way to transfer DA accounts to plesk without problems. Because of this, I feel it would be easiest to transfer the accounts to a cPanel VPS, then to plesk. I know hosts are not supposed to PM here, but if you can offer me a cPanel VPS sometime within the next week for 24-48 hours for under $5-7, that would be great. This may seem like a little amount of money, but realistically it is a good amount in comparison to the pricing for a whole month of service.
It can be OpenVZ, virtuozzo, or Xen.
Is it normal ? What can I do?

I am wanting to get access to 'top -c' for a period of 48/72 hours.
Now I have found the following

top -c -b -d 15 > top.txt
What this does is every 15 seconds add reply 'top -c' to top.txt
Now I can make this into a shell script then put it into the background and exit SSH while leaving it running.
Now the question is will this use much usage/server load over the 48/72hrs, it will be checking 4 times every minute.

Recently a drive in one of my main box's has failed.
Ive contacted my provider, however there SLA states - 4 Hours for hardware replacement.
It takes 4 hours to replace a harddrive? What are they, sloths?
Anyone else had similar experiences when attempting to get drives replaced?
I'm not a direct client of Leaseweb, but it's not a secret that my domain is pointing at their servers.
I purchased a shared hosting plan from a reseller and since more than 43 hours my domain is down! My provider (the reseller) said he's waiting for Leaseweb support... according to my informations, in more than 24 hours they just made a reboot of the server!
I'm really bored of waiting with no chance of intervention! My provider says he can't do anything from his side, i can't contact Leaseweb cause i'm not a client... please, help, what can i do?
I need my site back online!
like to clarify this is not a post to bash liquidweb.
I have been a loyal customer of LW for the past 2 years (almost)
My websites have been down since Thursday 3:00 a.m due to "DDos Attack"
on Friday night, the network engineer told me the "DDos Attack" has stopped and problem should have been resolved. However, no websites were accessible.
On Saturday, I ensure you I have made many phone calls to Liquidweb dedicated server support and try to resolve this issue. (Never once did I raise my voice and they were being very polite.)
I believe the server admins that were helping was at the end of their shifts and every time I try to make a phone call to the person that was assisting me to get an update, liquidweb would tell me that he has gone home. Every time the server admin finishes his shift, the support ticket is not assigned to anyone else that is working until I make a phone call to them stating my problem.
I own quite a few large sites that generate over 3 millions hits per day and every hour of downtime means I will be losing valuable clients and revenue. That is why I am extremely frustrated with the 63 hours downtime as it seems like the results of working hard for the past 2 years is slipping away from me as the clock keeps ticking.
I am sorry, I am just trying to share this with fellow webmasters as I really need a place to express my feeling. (None of my friends will understand online business.)
Again, I am not bashing liquidweb...I must have really bad luck myself.
I'm extremely worry about my VPS as it hosts 3 important websites to me. I can't let it down like this.
I submitted ticket, email, tried to call the number on your website but it is just an automatic answer.
So please at least let me know what happening? Your website says support 24/7 so where are you in the last 6 hours?
To start please take this in mind I have servers colo'd at FDC and have 0 problems, so i'm still all for fdc servers.
Here is my 24 hours review on my new vps server from FDC setup was quick less than 5hours after paying my invoice.
Now down to my problems. Off peak hours last night my VPS server was great 10 / 20mbits solid speed on sending data from the box today I am unable to get over 150kb/sec.
This doesn't help me since the nature of my business I need to transfer files fast between servers. The VPS speeds of 150kb/sec will be no use for my business if anything make our job harder.
These tests were taken using the internal fdc network transferring from the new vps to one of my 1gig fdc colos and other various servers I have on the FDC network.
After contacting fdc support about this speed issue they logged in and checked the speeds they did a download of the speedtest file from the fdc website around 30 - 40mbits. But they didn't test the outgoing from the server.
I received the response that I am sharing bandwidth on the node so speeds could vary so on there 100mbit unmetered vds package they are saying 150kb/sec is acceptable.
So basically after that my last response is if 150kb/sec are the speeds i can expect from a VDS then please cancel my server at the end of the billing period as the VDS will be no use to me.
So now I have been transferred to billing to cancel the vps at the end of the billing period.
So to sum it up, vps setup was fast and the vps runs great but don't expect the speeds you can get from one of there dedicated servers.
Is Nick Laws here? Someone knows where to call him or managemybox.com?
I have 3 servers with them. One of them is down for almost 16 hours now, and it has been 4 hours without notice. Tech replied saying is a harddrive crash and they will replace it, I have lost a lot of dollars because all important clients on this server are running out.
Now, can someone help me contact Nick? I sent him a message a minutes ago, but his techs are nto replying and one of my clients is really in a bad mood saying he will take legal actions against me.
Anyone can say a word? This is really bad and I dont get even a reply, just a word last night saying a few hours.
This is the ticket:
Dear Felipe,
ssh down too, will have a tech reboot and clear firewall, will take about 15 minutes

Im running MySQL 5.0.32 on a Debian Etch server. I recently moved a couple sites from a Debian Sarge (with MySQL 4.1) server over, and now MySQL has become very unstable.
Every few hours mysql just hangs on a query. All the following queries are queued and never get executed. The only way to get things running again is forcefully killing and restarting the mysql process. After that things work again...for a few hours.
The logs (error and query log) show nothing exceptional. When it hangs and I do a 'show processlist;' I noticed that everytime a SELECT....IN (a,b,c) query is holding up everything. Could the 'IN ()' be the reason for mysql not completing the query and holding up the rest?
Another option might be to temp. go back to MySQL 4.1...but that is going to be a real problem on Debian Etch
anyway to auto reboot server every 6 hours?
will this effect on the server?
i'm running on CentOS 5 and whm
I thought I should share my feelings on FutureHosting even though we have only been on their server for 48 hours.
Background
---------
I started having my sites hosted back in 1990's and have had about a dozen hosts since then. (Started with Pair.net when they were like maybe 2 of the 3 hosts on the planet, LOL) 90% of the time, I have needed to find a host due to my former host being acquired or some other non-technical reason. So you could say that I tend to stick with a host for as long as possible. I have moved from shared hosting, to reseller hosting, to dedicated hosting, and now to VPS hosting. I started my VPS adventures with PowerVPS.
This was about 3 years ago if I recall. Like most here, I did a great deal of homework, read and lurked. PowerVPS was in my top 5 final list. I selected PowerVPS and was extremely happy to put the headaches of dedicated servers behind me. For two years the VPS was very stable. That changed about one year ago. I was told I was hitting resource max and asked to upgrade. Oddly, my sites' traffic was about 1/2 of what it was in the first two years. ie my VPS should have less resources needed. PowerVPS moved many of its legacy VPS users to new hardware. I don't recall they informed me, though they said they did. They did inform me that they would make a decision on the remaining legacy users in terms of billing promotions -- they never did. Downtime continued. I began to notice that their newer techs did not share the same ability of communication and skills as past/founding techs. Answers were curt and became more and more unhelpful. We have all seen this pattern before where a host starts out so well (2 or 3 guys/gals), and as it grows, they add remote staff that just don't have the same passion of the founders, or language skills. (Disclaimer: English isn't my native, so no excuse for lack of communications in business IMHO).
Thus, I began my search for a new VPS here. FutureHosting was in my top 5 along with KnownHost, SolarVPS, Jaguar. Actually, I rated them 3 or 4 in my final list. I tested all of these hosts' sales responses and went through the shopping process just before clicking 'sign-me up'. (I work in Ecommerce so I like to see that process). SolarVPS answered my questions the best. KnownHost a close second. I am sure there are a few other good VPS companies like ServInt, Lunar and HostNexus, but their prices just don't reflect the marketplace IMHO.
Due to my needs and budget though, I selected FutureHosting as they seem to offer the best balance -- competitiveness and support.
FutureHosting - 48 hours
-------------------
As my data was on PowerVPS with Plesk, selecting another provider with Plesk was important. Actually, I have always been a Plesk fan having used all the CPs (I just wish they would stop trying to offer 1,000 products and spin off a CP-only company like they were.)
FutureHosting (FH) started the migration on Saturday night. Sunday morning I notice that all sites hadn't been moved. I checked my inbox and read the many emails awaiting me. It seemed Plesk was having a hard time using its server migration tool (typical of Plesk that they introduce a feature that doesn't work 100% of the time.) FH informed me they would migrate my VPS (domains, etc) manually.
While this was going on, another tech worked on some requests I had related to SSH, root access, etc.
What I found in the last 48 hours was what I had hoped for... Techs that received my tickets, and replies that stated WHAT they were doing. I felt informed during the entire process. In some cases, CLEAR explanations were given. In some cases, SIMPLE answers were given -- where I couldn't grasp the why. The level of service was what I experienced in my first year with PowerVPS. And now, a really important point -- EVERY tech that worked on my tickets displayed the same level of competence. All too often, I have felt in the past that the level and ability of techs ranged so much. This became more apparent as of late on PowerVPS (are they contracting out support? No idea.) It was a real pleasure to deal with each tech. I think I counted 5 different names! What I REALLY appreciate was that it was obvious that each tech taking over a ticket READ the entire ticket thread. Too often when a tech takes over due to moving it a tier or shift change, I felt like I needed to explain everything from the start. Gah!! I don't have time or patience for that.
Hardware wise, I moved from (PowerVPS) AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 246 to Intel(R) Xeon(R)CPU E5420 @ 2.50GHz (Future Hosting). In the case of PowerVPS, my VPS was on an old legacy machine that a few of us unlucky ones were still on (We were asked to bump up $$ to go to the new machines, I refused.) I don't know which server is better, but thus far my sites feel much more snappy. I also notice that my former VPS used burst RAM approach vs. SLM. (See my other post http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=896249). I should also state that perhaps PowerVPS uses this in their new machines. No idea.
Overall, I am paying the same amount for my new VPS, the sites are loading much faster and most importantly, the service has been top rate. I was a little worried at first because I heard such great reviews of Knownhost and SolarVPS (I am sure they are warranted), but based on the past 48-hours, I must say my selection was right for me in many ways. I'm crossing my fingers that this level of service will continue 3, 5 or more years down the road. If they do, I won't hesitate to recommend FutureHosting to the MANY developers I come into contact with. (I have sent a great deal of leads/business to every host I have been at.) I will need to revisit this thread on my anniversary to see if things continue in such a great manner.
