Hi there, I have been experiencing issues regarding my PC being unable to connect to my domain 'fyrewolf.com' in both Firefox (3.6) for viewing the site and Filezilla for FTP. I sent an email to my registrar thinking that it may have been their fault, but it might not... the email was:

Recently I’ve noticed I’ve been unable to access the site every now and then – the computer says something regarding DNS lookup failure. I can access the site through Mozilla Firefox (3.6) now, but can’t get into the FTP for the site using Filezilla, which says ‘Connection attempt failed with "EAI_NODATA - No address associated with nodename".’.

I have the domain registered with name.com but hosted elsewhere. I did recently update whois registry contact details but not nameservers – they have remained the same for a few months. I have another domain ‘advancedweb.co.nz’ registered with another registrar and it also uses the same nameservers as fyrewolf.com (the same server/host), and I am not having any DNS issues with it.

Also, I mentioned I updated whois contact details recently, it keeps changing between the new and old contact information when I check at http://who.is/whois/fyrewolf.com/. It’s also displaying a ‘This program cannot display this webpage’ message instead of a screenshot of the site which suggests I am not the only one experiencing this DNS issue with Fyrewolf.com.

I’m not sure what you can do to fix this, as I am aware these issues tend to fix themselves – I’ve also tried switching my DNS servers from my ISPs to openDNS, and back again, clearing the DNS cache with a ‘ipconfig /flushdns’ command, as well as simply clearing temporary internet files.

Any suggestions are welcome.

      Fixed. For some reason when moving accounts between servers, some of the dns information may not update for some reason.

      http://thednsreport.com helps a lot for seeing the problems too.
