Stupid DNS question...
 

Why are some registrars faster at DNS changes than others? And isn't it supposed to be almost instatnt now? Or is that only with some places and not others? :helpme

Thanks,
Bill

There are no stupid questions.

It depends where they are located and who they are. People in less populated etc areas update slower... the fastest updates are in Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Atlanta, Denver, NY, and Houston... where most backbones are and where sprints sonet rings are.

Makes sense. Thanks FF :)

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh
that fucking rocks.
It depends on the weather too man, when its rainy internet goes slower :1orglaugh

What's so funny? :)

I understood it as some servers update faster than others depending on where they are.

it is realtime I dunno why some are slower maybe their own systems are lame

:) , thats right
some update in 10 miliseconds and some in 20 miliseconds depending on their
location :1orglaugh

It depends on each ones policy and on their volumes.
.com and .net (and some other unknown tlds like .info) should be almost instant (around 5 minutes, we can call that "instant" compared to what it was before).
Altho they get pushed into the root servers faster than before, the whois
info its still as slow as before.

OK, then tell me why at Register it took about 3 hours and at Godaddy it's been more than 12 with no change yet?

it still take me fucking 48 hours with NETWORK SOLUTIONS!! And im paying $50/year for a domain.

because they both suck, I get 5 minutes with directnic
:thumbsup

Thanks so much for not having an educated answer :thumbsup

What I said above is a partial answer. Not all registrars update at the same intervals and internet congestion etc.

There's not one specific reason.

I'm tired :Oh crap

I gave you the answer above, you just need to open your eyes.

Your first answer in this thread was to my first question, maybe you should open your eyes. The answer I quoted was to my second question... :winkwink:

your answer was good.. theres just some people with an overwhelming urge to feel smarter, so they have to try to bring other people down

but it backfires
:winkwink:

Ok, let me quote it for you. That answers your second question if you keep
your eyes wide open :thumbsup

Your answer to my second question (which I might add you even quoted before you made you response) was...


Case closed.

I didn't felt I have to repeat to you what I just said.
Looks I was wrong.

Lets face it nappy... I'm the stoopid in the MooP family :Oh crap lol :upsidedow

I took it as a joke, dont tell me you were serious about it.

I was serious

altho it might sound weird thats sligthly :offtopic

oops. thats a bit sad.
Next time you can skip the "areas" argument because
they're all located around the same areas.

Is it?
I thought this was about the time it takes for DNS changes to propogate to all the DNS servers.

If it is, sorry :upsidedow

I was initially answering a different question... I didn't read the registrar part.

its all cool
:thumbsup

looks its about the time it takes the registars to push the changes in the root dns servers, slightly different.

oh the registrars!
sorry i was skim reading :winkwink:

So was I lol
