I recently transferred my domain to a new registrar, and after the transfer was complete, updated my nameservers to point to completely different ones.
This was about 12 hours ago. Since then, I've had all kinds of strange issues trying to access my website, most of which I assume have to do with DNS propogation delays because of DNS caching. I understand that you usually have to wait for 24 hours to be sure that the DNS records change has fully propogated, BUT I'm not sure why this is happening:
1) Using Ubuntu on my laptop connected to my home Wifi, I cannot access my website. Chrome shows DNS lookup failure: error: -105 (ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED)
2) Using my phone's Wifi, I cannot access my website (DNS lookup fails, chrome gives same result on my phone). However, using my 4G data I can view the website perfectly fine.
Now those two make sense to me: Maybe my ISP is caching the DNS lookup (although I'm not sure why it would do this if the lookup is failing).
3) My laptop fails when doing a ping
of my website. HOWEVER, dig
works fine - sometimes! If I run dig www.mywebsite.com
it fails, but if I do dig http://www.mywebsite.com
it works! (something similar happens with nslookup
: it only works with a http://
)
Can anyone explain what is going on here?

Put the proper domain names in the question, and then someone might be able to. – JdeBP – 2014-02-11T11:24:41.253
