Nameservers vs Sedo

[-Adam-]

I reset my nameservers which originally pointed to sedo parking to my dreamhost nameservers. I know it usually takes up to 48 hours or what not to completly switch them over and sometimes it takes no less than 10 minutes. Well one of my project sites that I switched the nameservers back to my hosting account on yesterday morning allowed me to start working on the CMS that I had uploaded to it. Then no more than 20 minutes later I come back to continue working on it and its redirecting to the sedo parking page again. I have cleared the history/cookies and temp files and everything else that I can think of that may affect it and for some reason it's still pulling up the parking page. I was wondering if anyone else had run into this problem.

Did you try this:

If you're using windows. Go to Start>Run type in cmd then click "ok", next, type in ipconfig/flushdns

Then try visiting your site. You may need to reboot your computer as well.

It's probably because your ISP has it cached for a certain amount of time.

it happened with me too. i then deleted my hosting account, and recreated it wich solved the problem.

Thanksk for the advice colleen, I gave it a shot and did the restart as well but it's still pulling up the parked page. Maybe it just never fully propagated..

Sorry to hear, it usually does the trick. I know how to force it to go to the new site if you'd like to know that as well.

You'll have to edit your hosts file to force the domain to the IP.

Windows 95/98/Me c:\windows\hosts

Windows NT/2000/XP Pro c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Windows XP Home c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

If it won't let you edit the hosts file, right click it, go to properties, make sure "read only" is unchecked.

You then add a line beneath anything that's already there like so:

IP address domain

ie;

12.345.678.10 www.domain.com

Save, you may need to reboot. Let me know if it works for you. I do this all the time instead of waiting on DNS!
