Name Servers

[Jay]

Hey guys,

I was wondering how to change the name servers for a domain that is hosted with namecheap.com.

A simple google search would have given you this video, http://www.dewahost.com/tutorials/chang ... gedns.html 😉

 

[Jay]

Thanks mate. 😳

 

[Nathan]

Anytime :great:

 

[Jay]

So wait, it takes up to 72 hours for the name server to change?

They say 72 hours because each person's DNS updates at different rates. It can sometimes be 5 minutes or an hour or a whole day. It just varies.

Alright, thanks mate. 😀

However if you see other people can access your domain (or via a proxy you can access it yourself) and you can't, you can always flush your DNS 😉

 

[Jay]

How do you do that, because I can't see ny domain. 🙁

I'd usually just reset my router so that my IP changes.

Or clear your cache - works for me 😛

To flush your DNS...(assuming you have XP)
1. Start Menu
2. Run --> CMD
3. Type in ipconfig/flushdns & press enter
and you are done 🙂

That sometimes work unless his ISP has given him a 1 IP which means he cannot switch by reseting routers..

Obviously. Just thought I'd post that in the case of him having a dynamic IP.

It didn't work for him, he is running on my host and I reccomended that to him a while ago during a live support session.

You can just switch your DNS to OpenDNS . Works for me when my ISP isn't being helpful.

Just search OpenDNS and you will find directions on it all, it's free if you are wondering.

I got it,
I reseted the router and it worked.
Thanks Mr. Green and all who tried. 😀
