JGO domain-name changed ?!

oh nice, finally!

can see the dns has been changed now from oracle to you.

;D

Nameservers are changed. Will take between 2 hours and 48 hours to complete…THEN, I have the ability to change the DNS.

EDIT: Forwarding has been initiated. Should take place within the hour.

My webserver has been setup to handle incoming traffic from the old/new domain. Hopefully it will work right away :slight_smile: If not, feel free to publically blame me [you].

It should, it will be doing masked forwarding from the domain to java-gaming.org This way, both new and old links stay in tact until you move them all over, if that is what we decide, to javagaming.org (one word, no hyphen).

Chris

Do you mean you’re going to run a webserver which will do a http level redirect? If so, why not point the dns to my webserver’s ip address right away? That way it will also simply serve the same content for both domains, without the additional redirect. But maybe I’m misinterpreting ‘masked forwarding’ … :slight_smile:

I vote for switching to javagaming.org AND publicly blaming Riven if something goes wrong. Thanks for working to get the domain name stuff figured out Chris :smiley:

EDIT: Apparently masked forwarding allows you to redirect the domain name to another site but conceal the web address of the other site. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/smallbusiness/domains/domainfeatures/forwarding/forwarding-07.html

I will, but the nameserver transfer takes time. After it is logged in my ISP’s database and it has propagated, I will be able to point to your ip address. The forwarding is just a temporary fix until this happens :slight_smile:

Chris

I blame SOCIETY! (and Riven)

I get a GoDaddy “Is this your domain?” page.

Its where I have the domain parked. It can take up to 48 hours for non .com/.net TLDs to propagate.

Chris

Why does it take so long? Isn’t it just a change of DNS records?

It might indeed take 48 hours, but I never saw it actually take that long :-\

Running nslookup at the DNS server that hosts the DNS records, will show the configured records immediately.

What’s the new DNS server Chris? :slight_smile:

Can you give us a heads up on why it doesn’t (seem to) work?

Crap. Not sure. Looking into it now…

Chris

ALRIGHT!

Zone file needed to be recreated and I am now pointing at the java-gaming.org IP address. Should take about an hour to propagate. Was an issue on the registrar side, but seems to be fixed now. Fingers crossed!

Chris

Finally done. Back to javagaming.org!

Chris

Woot! Confirmed, it works. Great job Chris :slight_smile: If you go to javagaming.org it loads the front page, then when you click a link it takes you there on java-gaming.org

Thanks for the fix! Glad to have 30% of our visitors back!

Can’t do much about that. Will add a http-redirect later today.

Hmmm…seems to be broken again. I just checked the zone file and everything is fine on my end (for once!)…

Chris

It’s still working for me.
