Hey,
I am pulling my hair out and cant figure this out.

I changed my name server settings on a domain 4 days ago (with godaddy) and they still have not chnaged to new settings.WTF is this normal? 4 days ?

I have changed settings many times before and normally would take from a few hours to 24hrs max.I have logged in and double checked and everything looks good,but why so long ??

Squirly, this is not normal. I just changed nameservers over the weekend, and it took all of 5 hours. Was all of your account information up to date?
 
Im glad you said that as I had the same problems - Im sorted now though !
 
cmd > ipconfig /flushdns

& check using http://nin-jacloak.com (remove - )it takes like few hours to show the new DNS. But might take longer for you. (ISP & shit)
 
are you sure that everything's correct? have you check in intodns.com?
 
is it possible for you to change the basic dns settings like TTL or SOA? especially in the TTL (time to live) record is stored how long a dns query can be cached until it'll be requested again. depending on that value it can take up to a week or month to update. so better make sure to set a TTL value for a day (86400). i have this value as the default and that works perfect. if i want to move bigger site it put that TTL value down to a few minutes about a week before the real move. than the cache value is smaller and updates come faster which brings lower down-time.

hope this helps for the future :)
 
change your dns server on your TCP/IP configuration
choose google dns: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
or opendns: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
ther run command "ipconfig /flushdns"
I ussualy use this method to make sure.
 
i have checked my DNS settings 4-5 times and everything look correct.i also checked with many different whois sites and also did ipconfig /flushdns ans still shows my old settings :(.
 
Are you with a hosting company? If so, you should just be able to call them and have them fix this.
 
i have talked to hostgator support and they keep telling me to check with godaddy support.


I have logged into my godaddy account and changed NS1 with my IP1 (in Host IP 1), click ok and enter values for NS2 (in Host IP2) click ok,although after when i check NS2,it has moved to the Host IP1 form. Is this right ?

Godaddy definitely has the most complaints and lawsuits against them compared to other host registrars I've heard of.

What was it like 2 years ago that they were caught stealing their clients domains?

You should look at other places for hosting and domain registrations.

I personally use namecheap.com because they are lenient, and they don't really give a damn what you do with your site, and they also have 24/7 live online support.
 
I had same problems what I did was delete the ip from my custom nameservers and started again, Once you done custom name servers then set your name servers again

Godaddy are ****ing useless!!

yep Godaddy Sucks eggs. I have had the issue before where they did update and then like two days later go back to the old settings.

I would move my domain name if I were you. I like namecheap and name.com both update pretty fast on dns settings.
 
+1'ing here. Get away from Godaddy as soon as possible. I also like/would recommend namecheap.
 
internet.bs also fast, and Lenient is their middle name.
