Hello,

I've been banging my head against a wall for two days now.

I'm new to dedicated.

I got the Nameservers changed to ns1.domain.org and ns2.

I have my first site up and running without issue using these nameservers.

But now. I'm trying to add a second site/Domain. www.2nddomain.com

Yesterday evening I changed the nameservers on Go Daddy. I did a Domain search and they show up correct? So I assume that it should be working?

I've tried in WHM to remove the ousda.com account and recreate it. and it doesn't work.
NOTE: I could access the site via my IP/~2nddomain

Next I terminated the account, and I tried to do a Addon Domain through Cpanel. No luck.

www.2nddomain.com Gives me the same error. (Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage)
But again
www.domain.com/2nddomain (add on domain) Works.


So my gut tells me it has something to do with the DNS Nameserver.

Which I've double checked for typo's and errors?? Why would one work and not the other?

Domain servers in listed order:
NS1.domain.ORG
NS2.domain.ORG

Here is a Website that works?

NS1.domain.ORG
NS2.domain.ORG



I'm completely at a Loss of what to check or do next, I think this is something probably simple that I'm overlooking. Here are acouple things I've done while trying to read and research. (I got a Linux book for Xmas to learn.! but even that isn't helping right now.)

Never mind..

It just started working??


I'm guessing it has something to do with DNS propagation..

Could take 4 - 175 hours, depending on your ISP. ;-) Keep that in mind --- it ain't instant.

Or you can use a website like www.dnsstuff.com that does no caching so you know right away.

dns report also used to have a cool tool that would query a few dozen major ISPs and give you a report as to the cached status in hours to next refresh of the dns record you queried.

Good to know.. I guess I was just expecting that because when I did a Domain search it showed my Nameservers that everthing was good. I didn't think about my ISP caching.. I'm really starting to hate that word.. Cache..

Thanks again!

They still have that feature.


Cache is a pain but it is not all that bad...assuming that TTLs are respected and too often they are not always.
