My domain is gone

[Ixix]

i bought a domain 7/1 from fabulous and spent the last 2 days designing a site for it.

now i check my domain and it's pointing to a domain sponsor landing page.

wtf???

i'm about to throw fits

 

[bluearrow]

you bought meant you did register the domain ? not expired ?

tried updating the nameservers again ?

ok....it's working now...i contacted the admin, he said it was working fine on his end....and that my browser must have been displaying a cached version of the domain....but i don't see how that could be cuz it's a new domain...i looked at archive.org and there are no other previous owners/sites on the domain...

weird.

when i'd type my domain, i'd get a domainsponsor landing page + 2 popups....i was freaking out

Spyware perhaps?

Do good to scan your computer?

Sometimes your local DNS cache can 'revert' on itself - this is probably what happened.

I once changed a domain's nameservers, and about 8 hours later I could see the site on the new server. Then the following day I could see the site on the old server again.

It was odd, but it turned out to just be the local DNS cache (and running "ipconfig /flushdns/" via command line worked fine)
