One Domain Two Host

[gerry]

Having several websites and domains I just recently purchased a reseller acount in which they set up the primary domain for the account with instructions for transfering the domain to the new host.

I followed the instructions to the letter which mainly consisted of changing the DNS from
ns.oldhost.net
ns2.oldhost.net
to
ns.newhost.net
ns2.newhost.net

After 4 days now I can finally reach the site on the new host by typing in myname.com, but when I type in www.myname.com it still takes me to the site on the old host.
My question is, Is this a temperary condition or will the www.myname.com URL eventually take me to the new host?

Also the reseller acount uses the ensim control panel.
thanx gerry

If the domain resolves, then www should resolve too. The www part is up to the name server used for domain.com.

Thanx Bret
And nice diagram and after a little more study and research I'm sure I'll learn what it all means. lol

But I'm having this problem now with several domains.

I though it may have been my browser not refreshing the page but I went so far as to delete all the cookies, temparary internet files, and history.

Then I tried accessing the sites from two different pc's each from a different IP address.

I can go to the site on the new host a few times then the same URL will start taking me to and error page on the old host.

Is that the nature of newly moved sites are did I do something or fail to do something wrong?

Nervous wreak

gerry,

I may have completely lost the plot here.

but could it be that the www version is "Cached" by your isp, so even though you have cleared everything (cookies etc) the ISP is still showing the old version.

stranger things have happened.

that may account for mysite.com and www.mysite.com going to two different host, but what's happening now is i can go to mysite.com or www.mysite.com and it seems to be a 50-50 chance on which host it will take me to.

Now that you mention my ISP I'm thinking maybe there's a delay in my isp's DNS servers sycronizing(sp). One server has the new host address and the other server still has the old host "cached" and due to server load my internet connection is switching between the two?

Does that make any sense?

Newbie-ism sucks.
