Have you changed your domains nameservers to hostgators?

GvilleRick · #5 12-31-2007, 12:42 PM

What is the domain? It sounds like either the nameservers are not pointing here or the DNS has not propagated. It could also be a problem with the MX records.

yes ive changed the namesservers to hostgators,unless its a namesserver for email.

Name Server: NS1.LNHI.NET (has 116,238 domains)
Name Server: NS2.LNHI.NET
Name Server: NS3.LNHI.NET

Is the nameservers it says your domain is on. when did you change the nameservers?

the support at my previous host said they changed them around friday i think

quietFinn · #9 12-31-2007, 01:02 PM

The nameservers in the registrar (i.e. in Tucows) are not changed.
The support in your previous host changed the NS records in the zone file of cafenubia.com, which is just idiotic.

lol......i dont know what they did,its frustrating though.....
would any one happen to know how to change the nameservers over at hostmysite

Where did you purchase the domain name from?

If you purchased it from the host then there should be an option inside your control panel (not cPanel) to change the nameservers.

Those options would be using their nameservers which I would say you don't want to do. You will need to go to the registrar to change them.

i just communicated with my previous provider and they pointed me in the right direction to change my nameservers ,my domain was locked as well,but it should be updated now.

SAM earlier in the post you provided info that showed my nameservers had not been changed can you or any one show me how to check now.

Sam · #15 12-31-2007, 04:08 PM

You can do a whois look up on your domain name

it now shows:
Name Server: NS719.HOSTGATOR.COM
Name Server: NS720.HOSTGATOR.COM

GvilleRick · #16 12-31-2007, 04:11 PM

There are a number of sites on the internet that allow whois lookup. I use http://network-tools.com/ pretty regularly and it does show that the domain nameservers have been changed. It will take some time for the changes to propagate so that it will work for everyone.
