Title: Morphzone gone?
Post by: motorollin on October 22, 2006, 12:36:03 PM

Is Morphzone gone? I haven't visited it in a long time but went there just now, and the site is gone. Is it dead?

Not that I know of. I was just there a couple of days ago, a rarity for me. I wonder what's up.

Really.
I get a DirectNIC page with links telling me "The Requested URL was not found on this server."

Weirdness. I get this:

Maybe my ISP is doing something weird with the DNS?

Bugger - look:

Domain   Type   Class   TTL   Answer
www.morphzone.org.   A   IN   86400   204.251.15.175
(root)   NS   IN   86400   ns0.directnic.com.
(root)   NS   IN   86400   ns1.directnic.com.
ns0.directnic.com.   A   IN   21600   204.251.10.100
ns1.directnic.com.   A   IN   21600   209.16.87.100

So the domain belongs to Directnic now??? :-(

Also, the whois record was updated 2 days ago with the Directnic details. Looks like they forgot to/didn't want to renew it!

MorphZone is not going anywhere, domain is just being moved. The different effects people get at different times depend on your local DNS timeout settings.

Move along, nothing to see here... :-)

According to the WHOIS, on 20 October, Dave moved the domain name from directNIC to GoDaddy.  The problem is, his nameservers still reflect directNIC's servers

(ns0 and ns1.directnic.com)

The problem with that is that directNIC cannot offer hosting or other services to domains which aren't registered with us, hence Dave will need to log into his GoDaddy account and change the DNS servers to reflect a new Web host.  This is why the "site is not found on our server".

your dns server is probably slow to update.

Curse the efficiency of BTOpenWorld's DNS servers :lol:

Somehow I get the feeling that technicalities involving a registrar change are not clear to BBRV. It hardly means that the site would need to be rebuilt from scratch or anything. The server itself is not moving anywhere...
