I recently transferred a hosted domain (isbd.co.uk) from BSNet Ltd. to Gradwell dot Net. The transfer has basicaly gone OK, any reference to isbd.co.uk now gets served by the Gradwell servers.
However I also have a domain isbd.net which is still hosted at BSNet Ltd. For some reason isbd.net works correctly (i.e. going to http://isbd.net gets web pages from BSNet) but if you go to http://www.isbd.net you get a message from Gradwell to say the site hasn't been set up.
Both isbd.co.uk *and* isbd.net used to be hosted at BSnet so I suspect some misconfiguration there. However, although I supposedly have access to the zone files at BSNet (it still lists files for both isbd.net and isbd.co.uk) they don't make sense to me. Here is what I see:-
; This is a generic domain template ; $TTL 86400 @ IN SOA ns0.futile.net. root.futile.net. ( 2003011901 ; serial 28800 ; refresh 3600 ; retry 604800 ; expiry 86400 ) ; minimum ; IN NS ns0.futile.net. IN NS ns1.futile.net. IN MX 10 mx1.mail.bsnet.co.uk. IN MX 100 foundation.bsnet.co.uk. IN MX 200 relay.bsnet.co.uk. ; IN A ip.address.of.host ; localhost IN A 127.0.0.1 ; this is a commented out line
It's identical for both. I suspect I'm not looking at the right thing.
What confuses me further is that isbd.net is a US registration, it's registered at Network Solutions and I have full access to the settings there. How is it that there are settings for DNS etc. for isbd.net at both Network Solutions *and* BSNet, I'm very confused!
Can anyone explain a bit or point me at a good tutorial please.

isbd.net points to 82.133.91.150 (shell.x-1.net) www.isbd.net points to 193.111.200.151 (lon-web-test.gradwell.net)
If www.isbd.net isn't working then perhaps you need to configure it for your Gradwell account, or ask them to do so for you. Or if it should still be hosted at BSNet then you need to get BSNet to stop pointing it at Gradwell.

isbd.net is still pointing at the BSnet nameservers. isbd.co.uk is pointing at Gradwell.
whois will tell you this.

If it really contains "ip.address.of.host" you can be fairly certain it's not the right thing. Plus it doesn't match the details served up for either of your domains.

Dude. Not NSI. Anyone but NSI.

I'm really not quite sure where to start with explaining. You don't actually say what the result you want to achieve is. Should both point at Gradwell? Should the .net still point at BSnet?
The best DNS resource I've found is the O'Reilly DNS & BIND book. I highly recommend it.
As a cheaper alternative why don't you talk to your hosting providers if you think something is misconfigured?

Yes, I think this is what Gradwell support told me too. It's the BSNet end of things that is wrong.

isbd.net is still pointing at the BSnet nameservers. isbd.co.uk is pointing at Gradwell.
That's correct, the error is only with www.isbd.net.

Yes, that was my suspicion too, I don't think my 'zone code control' page is actually what it says it is.

Dude. Not NSI. Anyone but NSI.
When I originally registered it there wasn't any alternative, isbd.co.uk and isbd.net have been registered for a *long* time!

isbd.co.uk is supposed to be hosted by Gradwell, isbd.net (including www.isbd.net) is supposed to be hosted at BSNet.

At the Gradwell end that works well, I'm not so sure about the BSNet end (that's why I moved the isbd.co.uk domain across). I may well be moving the isbd.net domain away from BSNet in due course.
