Unknown Host Error, is this a registrar problem or a host problem?
- by jerrygarciuh
Hi guys,
I am dealing with a barrel of weasels on this one. Ad agency registered the domain in mid-August with Network Solutions. 72 hours ago I updated the DNS to point to a host provided by an associate of the client whose credentials are dubious.
The DNS servers are at NETSONIC.NET (NS1 and NS2) and respond to ping no problem.
I can FTP to the server using its IP but the name is no go. The name is also no go for tracert and ping:
tracert voodoobbqfranchise.com
Unable to resolve target system name voodoobbqfranchise.com.
ping voodoobbqfranchise.com
ping: unknown host voodoobbqfranchise.com
I called NetSol and of course their tier one guy swears it must be the host but I insist that an unknown host must be a NetSol issue. Otherwise we'd get somethng like an httpd_conf error after being routed to the Netsonic server.
Am I right? Is this an issue at the registrar?
TIA
