DNS nameserver changes


Go to solution Solved by jimleeder123,

Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

 

I have a domain - www.thepizzacompany.co.uk - I changed the nameservers for it on 123 reg to my company's nameservers two days ago, but it hasn't come up with the files on our server yet. A wordpress website should be there.

 

Has it been fully propagated yet or does it need more time? Or anymore input from me? 

 

Thanks in advance.

Compare that to the output for that working site.

So, are you sure the nameservers are configured to serve that domain?

All I did for www.thepizzacompany.co.uk on 123 reg was change the nameservers to ns1.prophettech.co.uk and ns2.prophettech.co.uk. I'm sure its been over 48 hours, enough time for it to propagate. 

 

I don't understand any of the code you put up tbh, was does it mean please? (am a web developer, not a server admin guy)

You updated the domain registration to use the new nameserver, great. But did you update the nameservers themselves with the information for the domain? Do the nameservers have that configuration? Because it's not magic: you have to actually tell them the DNS records for the "thepizzacompany.co.uk" and "www.thepizzacompany.co.uk" and so on.

 

Or alternatively, did you do a zone transfer from the old nameservers to the new ones?

I changed the nameservers from the default 123 reg ones to the prophet tech ones in the nameserver management section for the domain in the 123 reg control panel, and nothing else. Do I need to do anything else in the DNS?

Yeah, there's more to it than just the nameservers.

 

Say you have a question about your website. You go to Google and search for "where can I find my website?" Google does not tell you what the answer is, but rather it tells you where to find the answers. You still have to look at the search results. You try the first one, and you get the answer you need. Great. But maybe it doesn't have it. If not then you go to the second result. And third. Until you find your answer or run out of results and give up.

 

Google is the domain registration. You asked it about your website and it told you where to look next.

Google's search results are the list of nameservers. You try each one until you get the answer you need.

 

All you did was tell Google what search results to show for the question. You still have to make sure that each search result has the right information.
