2) new DNS server was entered in .BIZ register;
3) First of all I thought that I simply need to wait a while after changes in DNS, but than I realized that if I make WHOIS query I receive response that the domain is still deactivated. I also made a DNS check and I received information that "parent servers say that the domain does not exist". Of course, in WHOIS I can confirm that the domain exists, but still "deactivated".
4) Each day my engineer have a different idea what is the reason, but I am not only losing advertisers money, but also my positions in SERPS on some very competitive keywords and key-phrases, what might cause me a great deal for trouble in the future.
Could you give me any clues why parent server might say that the domain does not exist?
I assume that it is not the problem with DNS server, because there are hundreds of domains using that DNS (however, as far as I know, none of them is .Biz, but I suppose it is irrelevant).
Thank you in advance,
Robert
- I own a domain "*.biz" – the sponsoring registrar is *.COM ("Company");
- Last Tuesday (April 17) the domain *.Biz had become inactive. If I make a WHOIS query I see that "Domain Last Updated Date" is "Tue Apr 17 8 pm Greenwich Time 2007". That is more or less time when the domain became inactive, so I assume there might exist a link between changes in register and deactivation of the domain. However I have not introduced any changes back then;
- If I make DNS query I receive response that "parent servers say that the domain does not exist", what suggests that .biz top level nameservers don't have any information for *.Biz domain. On the other hand by WHOIS query I can confirm that the domain exists and I own it (WHOIS also confirms that the domain has not expired);
- I was informed that it is typical for a situation when DNS servers are not defined in the register, but it is not our case. I was assured few times by *.COM that DNS are properly entered in their register as dns.*.pl and dns2.*.pl *.Biz uses such DNS since the begining (2005) and both DNS servers are used also by other domains, including a dozen of mine ones and we do not see any problems with dns.*.pl and dns2.*.pl;
- As *.COM informed me, in their system (as registrar) *.Biz domain is active, but they confirm that if verified by WHOIS *.Biz has status "inactive", what is quite unusual. The are "working on it", but without any results so far.
*.Biz, was a leading financial portalin Poland, with app. 200.000 visitors monthly and the sudden deactivation causes a great deal of trouble, so I would be very grateful, if you provide me with any clue.
