RE: [FreeDNS] DNS Problems...

["Roland Giesler" <roland@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm sorry to have to tell you, but granitecanyon is notoriously instable at times.  I moved my domains away from them because DNS servers have been down for changes for months if I recall correctly.  The error you're getting means that granitecanyon.com have not yet loaded and started serving your domain (being authorative in other words).

 

If you stick with them, make sure that you can 'dig' or 'nslookup' the zone files from your own machine and from somewhere else.  Try http://net.apollo.lv/index.php to test from Latvia.  If it works from there and your own machine, then it's pretty much certain that the zone is loaded.

 

Alternatively try hosting your domains at www.zonedit.com.  It's an excellent service, the first 5 zones are free, they do mail and web forwarding and the change are available almost right away after your zone has been actived initially.  They will do your secondary, but you can also have one for free over and www.secondary.com which is now part of www.ultradns.com.  The also have a nice dns primer, if you need something like that, over at http://www.ultradns.com/secondary/support/dnsprimer.html

 

Once everything is in place, and Christiaan or one of the other over at za.net get around to approving your registration, you won't have any problems anymore.

 

Hope that helps

Hi All,

 

What's going on... I need help. I've registered for hosting at roxr.com..approved.

Ive applied for a .za.net domain at ZA NiC...getting a problem with DNS validation

 

ERROR: Nameserver ns1.granitecanyon.com is not authoritative for phasedintelligence.za.net

ERROR: Nameserver ns2.granitecanyon.com is not authoritative for phasedintelligence.za.net

I've also registered for the pri and sec DNS at granitecanyon.com. Have not yet got any feedback from anyone on my registration efforts. I'm i doing something wrong or what is going on.

 

Any help will be great, please.

 

Frik
