I've just changed my hosting and so have changed the nameservers on my domain name, but it's been 3-4 days and still the nameservers haven't changed over.

When I've done this before it's been 24 hours max.
Any idea why it might not be changing?


thanks
 
thanks it looks like there's a problem with this domain. All my others come up fine when I did the DNS lookup but this one was all strange.

I've sent a support e-mail to 123-reg who I registered the domain with. Will see what they come back with.

See the quote below for the reply I got when running the dns lookup.

Error: It looks like you've stuck me in a loop!.

Details:
I am programmed to stop after 20 DNS queries, since most DNS lookups can be finished
after about 3-5 queries. It sounds like you're stuck in a loop.

As this domain is safely under your control do you fancy letting us know what it is?
It will make diagnosing any potential issue a lot easier.

Unless really necessary I'd prefer not to tbh.

I appreciate the help, thank you.

Did u point the name server at its self? just a random throught? Or try setting the name server again, perhapse some thing went wrong the first time.

Not sure what you mean by pointing it at itself?

I had the option to enter up to 4 nameservers and entered ns.mainnameserver.com and ns2.mainnameserver.com

I've tried to set them twice, leaving about a 2 day gap between them and it's now been about 3 days since the last time I set them.

From what I can tell the nameservers have changed from what they were before (ns0.todhost.co.uk and ns1.todhost.co.uk)?


thanks for the reply
 
thanks for the replies.

I eventually got a response from my hosting company today and they reset my account and it all looks to be ok now :)
