Whats wrong with my site...

[Rascagua]

Ive been trying to figure this out for a couple days now...

a site I recently regged, and put my hosting name servers.

So now ill be on the site, like cpanel etc, and suddenly the entire domain will be a friggen parked page...

Then like 4 hours later, I can see my site again... then as im using the WP admin area, it just switches back to a parked page again...

what the hell?

is this a hosting, name server or registrar problem...

and why is it happening?

im not an expert but it sounds like a nameserver problem...

i had a similar problem and found that i had 2 sets of nameservers still in my domain settings..

just a thought. probly wrong :anon.sml:

I thought it might be this initially, because sometimes the NS dont always seem to work right when you just put em in... but this has been a week now...

and Ive checked the nameservers like 3-4 times...

I know I have the nameservers listing...

whats ticking me off is that the parked page doesnt show who is parking it, so I cant tell if its the registrar or some noob with access to my page or my hosting doing it...

Use whois to determine what nameservers are authoritative for your domain:

$ whois wickedfire.com
[Querying whois.internic.net]
[Redirected to whois.godaddy.com]
[Querying whois.godaddy.com]
[whois.godaddy.com]

...lots of cut out bullshit...

   Domain servers in listed order:
      NS1.WICKEDFIRE.COM
      NS2.WICKEDFIRE.COM

Google whois to find some public whois servers.

Use nslookup or dig to look up the info on your server's IP.

C:\Documents and Settings\Supergeek>nslookup
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.0.1: Non-existent domain
*** Default servers are not available
Default Server:  UnKnown
Address:  192.168.0.1

> server ns1.wickedfire.com
Default Server:  ns1.wickedfire.com
Address:  206.251.74.83

> www.wickedfire.com
Server:  ns1.wickedfire.com
Address:  206.251.74.83

Name:    wickedfire.com
Address:  206.251.74.82
Aliases:  www.wickedfire.com

Your IP may have multiple A records, or your personal PC may have cached round-robin name servers, or whatever. Your domain record may be garbled.

Dig is cooler because it does all that shit.

$ dig www.wickedfire.com
