Ok, here's the deal . My Firstwebsite 3 1/5 months ago (so it should have 'propegated' by now) I registered a new domain name and webhosting package. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://bulawebs.com">http://bulawebs.com</a><!-- m --> is the site name. However, it periodically refuses to let me access my own site when I try to visit the address (Cannot find server error). For most everyone else on the internet, there is no trouble. However, occasionally someone else has trouble as well. Also, my problem is intermittent. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Right now, it is not working. Attempts to ping or tracert my site says it can't find my host. "Unknown host bulawebs.com." is the exact response for a ping. Again, sometimes it does work, and I am able to ping. From a working ping I was able to find my IP address: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://74.52.72.34">http://74.52.72.34</a><!-- m --> /. Also, right now I tried to ping my site: no response. So, at the same moment, I instructed a friend several hundred miles away to try it, and they pinged my site with no difficulty.
By adding cpanel onto the end of the IP number I am able to access my site and still upload and change things. However, accessing that IP number directly tells me there is no site configured at that address. That message displays regardless of whether I can access my site via the domain name URL.
I've attempted some research on google, looking for this same problem and have determined it may be my ISPs fault. Something about not updating their DNS records properly. I am mostly clueless on this point however, especially as I don't understand why my site would work one moment, and not the next. Also, as I stated, sometimes other people will have trouble reaching my site...while at the same moment I can correctly reach it. Which basically rules out a problem with the webhost, if nothing else. (Indeed, I initially wrote my webhost about this, and they said the hosting was working fine, as they could access my site without problems.)
So, my questions for you all are:
What the heck is wrong with my site?
Who is responsible for this problem? (i.e. Who do I contact to resolve it?)
What can I do? (Especially if somehow this is my error.)
My ISP says the Site is All Well !!!!!!!!!
ohh i have a Hostgater Reseller Pakage and Domains from Hostgater and some from Yahoo.
Isn't my main page supposed to appear when I type in my site's IP address? Whose responsiblity is this, and what can I do?
Finally, to head off any questions in this direction that were asked to other people (who I found on google) that had similar problems: I am not using a router. I'm not even sure what that is.
(Side note: by the time I finished typing this, my site was back up for me. It will be down again shortly, I am sure. It's predictable in that sense at least.)
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Please help me...and i live in a Country where the ISP wont listen to me..and you will findhardly any talented Network Specialist.
