DNS Help

Hi guys

Our new business venture launched this afternoon on the world wide web and we are still getting the holding page rather than the website. I have asked friends on BT and Tesco to check and they can access it, even a friend on Virgin in Cardiff can access the site.
Is Virgins network split?

Anyone with any suggestions?

the website is

www.boobbaby.co.uk

Thanks in advance
Ryan

Re: DNS Help

It takes anything up to 48 hours for DNS changes to propagate. Historically from posts on here, Virgin seem to be slower to update DNS and for their network to converge fully.


BTW, I can get to your site.

Re: DNS Help

Anyone have any idea how Virgin work out its network regions? As I would have thought Lee and I would have been on the same network, him in Berkshire me in Hampshire?

Working fine in Lincoln.

It may be worth flushing your local DNS cache.

Re: DNS Help

It depends on the nameserver but with my DirectNic hosts I find that the VM dns updates within 1 30 minutes of domain registration..

As though already stated on here you'll find that the different DNS servers will be updated at diffreent times and I'm not sure but I presume that the standard VM DNS servers have local slave servers at the UBR's.. That would account for some VM sites being slow on updates
