Anyone Know Why My Domain Is Stuck In Sedo AFTER Changing DNS Information?

Hello Warriors:

I have a new site about to go live and changed the DNS information from Sedo (where it was parked) to my own host yesterday (about 12 - 14 hours ago, I think).

However, it now resolves to a page (on Sedo) that says: "This domain has not been entered into the Sedo database by the domain owner and therefore cannot take part in Sedo's parking programme."

Maybe I'm expecting too much but past experience tells me it should be out of there and with my host by now.

Does anyone know what might be happening?

Am I just being impatient? :confused:

Tommy.

    Can you check your site through US based proxy servers such as the-cloak.com or proxify.com to see whether the same page is showing up?

    If so, you should re-enter your new DNS information again just to make sure that your Registrar's interface is working.

    If still not successful, you could well be looking at DNS cache poisoning.

    Give it some time. It can take up to 72 hours for new DNS to fully work it's way around the internet. Sometimes it's instant and other times it takes a day or two.

    It's the new drunkard prevention software. It detects those who have overindulged and saves them from making a horrible mistake.

    Or, it could be the backlog after holidays. My last three domains were slow in re-pointing DNS.

      I must have sobered up: All is well now.

      I'll have to learn to be more patient too but thanks to everyone anyway... even if only for alerting me to the fact that my poor DNS cache could be poisoned by some nefarious *******!

    Just a thought - I have been caught by Windows DNS caching too in the past. Easy fix:
    Code:
    Open a command window START>Run
Type cmd<return>
Enter ipconfig /flushdns
    Then close and reopen your browser.
    The DNS cache should clear itself fairly quickly, but I have found it causing problems for me in the past. Otherwise, just use that old patience!
