I've owned the srsracing.info domain for a few weeks now and had issues ever since the second day. About half the time I view it it works, and the other half it brings me to this page:

Of course I don't like that it doesn't work, but what gets to me more is that they are trying to sell the domain I PAYED FOR! :mad:

hmm, I went there and refreshed and re-typed the web adress several times and it still went to your normal site. sounds like a problem with your web hosting (blogger).

My only guess is you have an error in either your nameserver configuration or your DNS record settings. Without knowing more details of who the actual web host is and such, it's hard to make recommendations.


Also, the website works fine for me as well.

Hmm, it worked 30 minutes ago, but not now again.

EDIT: Urgg, works now.

I setup the DNS record settings just as Google told me to. I ran a diagnostic test and resolved some whatevers. We'll see.

There are four separate A records you will create, and can be done from the same control panel you accessed your CNAME records. Simply point your naked domain (example.com, without the 'www') to each of the following IP addresses:
216.239.32.21
216.239.34.21
216.239.36.21
216.239.38.21

You're missing an IP in your list of three, you should have four total. You skipped the .38 one. That might be the source of your problems.

It said that on the control panel home, but when I open Total DNS Control, it says I have it. I tried adding it again and it said I had it already.

Sorry, didn't know it would take a shot of both monitors.

Anyway, I haven't had the issue for the past few hours (rare), so perhaps the test I ran solved an issue.

Also, do I want the domain locked or unlocked?

Domain lock is just a toggle that stops any settings from being changed until you unlock it. You also can't transfer a domain until it is unlocked as well. It's a simple security feature so that you don't mess anything up while simply looking at the settings.

Also, the picture is too small to see but if all the IPs are in there then it should be good to go.

I have contacted GoDaddy. They say they will reply in 4 hours.

Why not so?

I've used Godaddy for domain purchasing for a number of years now and don't have a single complaint or problem with them.

As far as their hosting services are, can't comment, I host my own servers and websites.

I've had a few minor issues. not major, just stupid little things that i'm picky about :p

I like Bluehost, IMO

Blue Host is much more expensive, it appears.

They got back to me and said I need to delete the three other A name's as they all lead to the same CNAME "www". I've done this and it works this second.

Yeah. It is, but IMO, they are a bit more dependable... i'm not saying GoDaddy is crap, its just I had bad experiences with them.

GoDaddy got back to me again after I communicated how frustrated I was. They said that I needed to make the CNAME that leads to info go bye-bye and use the www.

It's been working all day for me. Hopefully it will continue.
