: I can see our company website on the Internet. 8 out of 10 of my
colleagues can see the company website. The other 2 see the holding page for
the domain name registering company. I have also been made aware that some
of our clients are seeing the holding page. This problem has just occurred
in the last couple of days. What could have gone wrong?
This generally happens when the domain registration record points to a new
DNS server. The Internet takes up to 4 days to synchronize and depending on
which DNS server you gather your information from, during the 4 day period,
determines the response you receive.
Another problem could be your ISP has duplicate records for your web server.
I normally set my DNS servers, in my domain registration, to point to my DNS
servers and allow my ISP to perform a zone transfer as a secondary. If this
is setup, then confirm with them they have not been altering records on
their end. They should only be responding with whatever they receive during
the zone transfer.
