...This might be a silly question, but why don't you just upgrade your 1&1 account to a hosting acount?

Set the name servers to ns1.nsnoc.com and ns2.nsnoc.com and drop a mail with the domain to support at nsnoc.com with your account number (get it from www.domaincity.co.uk/signup.php3) I'll get it ready and send ftp details to you.

Well that's not going to be much good for lex007 if he wants the site live by tonight - before the DNS change has time to propegate. You should be telling him to do that - AND - set up a redirect from where the domain is currently pointing. If he can't do that (if he's currently got the name servers set to sedo for example) then he can't have his site online by this evening and you should be open with him about that.

Whats the longest that you've had a nameserver change take? I know the golden rule is allow 24 - 48 hours, but i've never had one take much longer than 2 hours tops.

Following a change I've generally seen that traffic (web and email) tails off from the old server pretty quickly but doesn't drop to nothing for a couple of days. I wouldn't rely on a change having taken place until 2 days had elapsed. I certainly wouldn't call up a client on another continent and expect them to be able to see the new site within a couple of hours.

I suppose it depends on who lex007 needs to be viewing the site this evening, and where they are - and if you need 100% confidence that when they type in the domain they'll see the site - or not.

 

[BFTUK]

I'm not getting at you, its just my changes seem to be almost instant!

I was just curious, perhaps my sites don't get enough traffic to notice traffic on the old server.

THe issue isn't a NS change, its the user's system. My bb modem caches the DNS until midnight... So if i visit a site now, and the NS changes in 5 mins, I don't get the new server until tomorrow.

Some ISP's also cache. NTL is one of them.

 

[BFTUK]

Bloody ISP's!

I'm glad mine caches quickly otherwise i'd be so frustrated!

 

[Jeewhizz]

your's probably doesn't cache at all. Mine doesn't

There's a whole range of places where there could be a cache, from the users own computer to their ISP's DNS servers. Generally I think the slowest/most problematic one is the propagation of the DNS change to ISP's DNS servers.

A low traffic site, with traffic from dispirate ISPs, is going to have much less of a problem with this than a high traffic site, as the high traffic site will have had its domain looked up and therefore cached by many ISPs - for a very low traffic domain - when a user looks it up - the chances are higher that their ISP hasn't had a request for that domain recently and it's DNS servers won't be holding a cached result.

 

[Jeewhizz]

True, although it does depend on the ISP's. My ISP won't cache the DNS at all but they aren't the cheapest ISP around - I guess you get what you pay for!

 

[netserve]

I didn't get a PM or mail so I assume it's been sorted.

I'd assumed the domain was a .uk in which case a name server change would take less than 2 hours.

If the poster couldn't cope with DNS cache etc it would have been better to keep the domain with the current parking provider/registrar.

 

[aquanuke]

My ISP dosent cache, but the biggest delay for Lex wont be his ISP, system or anything else mentioned. It will be 1&1, I bet they will take 24 hours before they even action the NS change

 

[netserve]

My ISP dosent cache,

Hmm, you sure?
All ISP's cache dns zone records, it's what bind was built to do
