Hello,

I have a WHM account and I'm making some tests.
I've made an account with a domain name and the NS where upgraded.

My problem is that I can access the site with http://sitename.com but it's very hard to access it with http://www.sitename.com


It seems that it doesnt like the www tag.
Could someone help me?

It's very hard.
I need to refresh the page to get it.
And when I'm surfing in the website most times I need to refresh again cause it losses the connection.

One more thing, that domain have about 2/3 months with those settings.

Guessing here because it's impossible to be specific without knowing the affected hostnames, but it sounds like a DNS caching problem.

Is it just you or have others had the same problems?

I can't tell you cause I only added one domain to my reseller account. so, I don't know even could test because I have no more domains.


I will put here the DNS Zone for my site and then tell me if there's something wrong.

nextgenpt.com. 14400 IN A 69.162.125.211

localhost 14400 IN A 127.0.0.1

nextgenpt.com. 14400 IN MX 0 nextgenpt.com.

cpanel 14400 IN A 69.162.125.211

whm 14400 IN A 69.162.125.211

webmail 14400 IN A 69.162.125.211

webdisk 14400 IN A 69.162.125.211
My nameservers in the domain are with ns1/2.xtremecore.com but in my registrar they need to be with another cause the my NS1/2.xtremecore.com are virtual, so, they aren't registered.

Any one?

EDIT: Now it seems that's happen the same thing only with domain.com, but less.

your nameservers should be NS1.FTNDNS.INFO & NS2.FTNDNS.INFO

There are no DNS records for ns1.xtremecore.com & ns2.xtremecore.com. so any useragent using those servers as authoritative will have problems resolving the www CNAME

I did it.
Now I must wait.
In what site I should see if my DNS records were updated?


Well, it seems they're changed (see here), but, it's the same thing.
I need to wait?

One more thing that I've thought. It could be from .htaccess file?

What do you have in the file? Unless you're redirecting all URL's that start with www. to a dead link, I don't see how it could. I think chris may have found the problem - however, I haven't checked if those nameservers really do exist.

nslookup now returns the correct records for both hostname & the www alias

clear your DNS cache - run -> cmd -> then in the command window type -> ipconfig /flushdns -> press enter -> then use ctrl+F5 when you open the www version.
