Domain Name Not Working Help please

[canpolitics 0]

Hello, I just recently recieved my site, I used a registered Domain name cpol.info. I have the name server settings correctly set to ns1.trap17.com and ns2.trap17.com. I managed to get to my site yesterday no problem, but today no go. After doing an nslookup using ns1.trap17.com as the default server I found that ns1.trap17.com has no idea where cpol.info is. Can someone please help me out here.

after further investigation ns2.trap17.com apparently recognizes cpol.info.

So what's the problem now? did you get it solved?

I can see your site, its a CMS right? Maybe its something wrong with your pc not the Xisto site, did you have firewall enable? try clearing your cookies...

Tried it at a different PC... same thing... the dns servers are hitting it with about a 50% success rate. ns1 and ns2 don't have the same IP address do they? Because I was just trying nslookup again, set my default server to ns2 first and it gave me the ip of 209.*.*.* then I tried NS1 and it gave me a 69.50.*.* ip address, then when I switched back to ns2 it gave me the same IP it just found for ns1.What the heck is going on there?

My guess, your ISPs DNS servers aren't resolving correctly. Try entering your domain name AND IP in the correct format in your hosts file

The only problem is I know that I am not the only one getting the error. I ran a meta analyzer on scrub the web and it cannot fetch the domain name http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

comes back with Bad hostname cpol.info;. And the only way I can get to my site is to add the ip for ns1.trap17.com into my dns search order.

Answer:
Server failure.  There's a problem with the DNS server for cpol.info.

I want to clarify that you have done the followings:You must NOT touch or change any A RECORD or CNAME RECORD. Leave it as is. I see that your A record is also set to ns2.trap17.com.I have my own domain that is hosted by Xisto and the ONLY thing I updated is the nameserver, primary: ns1.trap17.com and secondary: ns2.trap17.com. Yes, I did have an error message saying that ns2.trap17.com wasn't reachable when I updated my records, but after 24 hours it was working flawlessly. Since then my ping to my domain points to Xisto hosting server (69.50.188.18).

Those results are looking for the a record, not changing them. I updated only the nameservers as well, and it has been well over 24 hours. As you can see from this thread the problem began on the 26th, but I was able to connect briefly on the 25th, then boom nothing worked. The only way I am able to get to my site is to get the IP for ns1 or two and manually add it to my own computer's DNS search order, and this isn't just a problem related to one computer on one ISP, I have tried several whois engines, and none of them can reach my domain name. I would say that there is a problem somewhere along the way on the Xisto DNS servers. ns1.trap17.com is NOT resoving to the correct address.

As of July 28th, 12:05PM (GMT-5) Your site is up and running. But it's loading really slow. Upon a ping test the average ping time is 309ms. I'd lik to take the credit for fixing it but the real answer is, I have no clue what fixed it.Keep on watching to see if it goes down again. Bytheway, nice looking site.
