I am trying to use Dynadot's name servers for one of my domains. Things seems to work fine for the subdomains, but the bare domain itself is not working! The first entry in the DNS settings page is an A record and the IP of the host. What am I missing?
I am still struggling to find a solution to this problem. In the Domian Info page I see that name server is indeed Dynadot:
Name Servers: Dynadot DNS: 87.230.21.171
In the DNS tab, the first entry is:
salarian.com A 87.230.21.171
Among other settings, I also have a subdomain:
www.salarian.com A 87.230.21.171
Now, using when I try the IP Lookup tool, I get this:
IP Status of salarian.com Name Server Unreachable - One or more name servers for this domain can not be reached. Please contact the admin for the name server.
Registry Name Servers ns1.dynadot.com ns2.dynadot.com
Zone Name Servers ns1.dynadot.com ns2.dynadot.com
ns1.dynadot.com salarian.com
No response. www.salarian.com
ip address 87.230.21.171
ns2.dynadot.com salarian.com
No response. www.salarian.com
ip address 87.230.21.171
What is going on? Why the name server returns no response for salarian.com?
You may need to contact your web host regarding the issue. They may be able to shed some light on the issue as your settings look correct in your account here.
Thanks for your help. Indeed there were still some settings remaining in the host provider's DNS records. I deleted every trace of DNS records from their server. Let's see what happens in few hours.
I removed all settings from the host provider's DNS. No change.
Then about 10 hours ago I changed the IP address in the DNS records of the site "salarian.com" to point to a different host and provider. Yet I get the same error when using the IP lookup tool.
Somehow dynadot's dns1 and dns2 servers do not like my domain name without a subdomain. Also, in the report I don't see any of the MX records either. There is no DNS configuration in my host so I don't think the problem relates to them. Is there anything else I can try?
