I am caught between my hosting company and my registrar. Each is blaming the other for my site not propogating after 2 weeks. The strange thing is that it has propogated for some places but not others. I've checked web monitoring services such as Alertra and Pingaling and it is clear that there are DNS problems in certain places in the world. The registrar says they have pointed the domain name to the correct nameservers (and every indication i have is that this is true). The hosting company says that "DNS Propogation issue is closely involve with the DOMAIN REGISTRAR. It is DOMAIN REGISTRAR & INDIVIDUAL ISP'S Responsibility to propogate DNS across the globe. Our server is running your domain successfully. There are no issues on the server that prevent your site from viewing to some specific user-base."

I have looked at dnsstuff site to see if I could tell what was going on, but I am a DNS clutz. Can anyone look at the ns info for me and tell me at least who I should be blaming, if not exactly what might be wrong?

The site is asp-hosting-plans.com . The nameservers of my hosting company are Name Server 1: ns1.accuwebhosting.net - 65.61.161.52 and Name Server 2: ns2.accuwebhosting.net - 207.44.240.96.

Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Looks like it could be DNS related. Three nameservers are listed in the "AUTHORITY SECTION" of the zone file for this domain.

There should only be two. The third one does not have a DNS entry for your domain. This error in DNS setup could well explain what you are seeing.

You should also remove your domain from your post (against TOS).

I get the two name servers you mentioned plus another.

It looks to me as though the name servers have been assigned but do not have the associated records for the domain.

I.E ns1.example.net has been assigned as the NS for your domain but it does not have any info for your domain so it doesn't know what to do next. (I know what I mean but I'm having trouble explaining myself :)

So I would start with whoever is responsible for administering the name servers.
