Hey- I'm working on a project for my university. I changed hosts about 2.5 days ago. Now, when I type "http://www.mavsonline.com" I get taken to my old site. When I type "http://mavsonline.com" I get taken to the new host.

What's up with that? I figure I just need to give it a bit more time. But I thought this was odd and wondered if anyone else was ever seen this before?

I get the same site at both addresses.... try clearing your browser cache

What do you see on both sites? Does it say, "nukemods.com" or "VBulletin"?

Yes, my cache is cleared... well actually I keep it turned off all together.

The DNS CNAME (or is it A) record for www. is pointing to your old address. The new record for your base DOMAIN.TLD is pointing to your new IP address.

If you want to get technical (and more standard) you should not be able to go to a site via DOMAIN.TLD, it should always be HOSTNAME.DOMAIN.TLD.

This behaviour is stated in the RFC for DNS I believe. The only reason people mangle their DNS record for non-host names is so stupid, non-computer savvy people can get to them even if they don't know anything.

Lets not forget that DNS changes take a while to propagate to every DNS server on the Internet, which can take 1-5 days depending on updates.

I'm thinking this is what's up. When I'm at school one system (employee internet) will go to the right domain, while the other (student internet) will not.

I guess I just have to wait some more... damn I'm impatient...

I see vBulletin at both addresses

Me too... it appears we have somone here wanting to plug his site. BRING OUT THE TORCHES!


j/k, it appears your DNS info has been updated and this thread is no longer necessary

Nope, I wish. I still see the old site for .domain and www.domain. Man, this really irrates me.

Any one else see something other than Vbulletin?

BTW, it make no sence to plug my site because it's for my school. Unless you go to UT - Arlington the site would probally be pretty boring to you.

Hehe, I just thought of a way to access the new site even though my DNS is effed...

Use a proxy
