Ok it may sound strange, but I forgot where is one of my websites hosted.
I remember the domain name and I have access to setup the DNS server, but I don't remember the nameserver. It was something like ns113.icndns.net but I checked and the domain is not there.
When I use that tool I see my domain name listed there: https://viewdns.info/reverseip/?host=nemo.icnhost.net&t=1
But what are the dns server names? Is there an easy way to find or am I missing something general knowledge? Please help.
p.s. I don'g have access to the hosting account and the guy having it will return at the end of the week, but it is too late.
Some website do the job for you, such as https://who.is
it will give informations regarding a specific url.
You can also use command whois from nslookup tools to resolve those kinds of problems

I hired a web server in Brazil (Locaweb), and now that my website is live my guests can't enter because says that my IP is in a blacklist.
Ok, I understand about blacklist and I know that usually servers recycle IP's. I requested Google to check it using the Webmaster Tools and they said that my website is clean now, there is no malicious code anymore.
It would be perfect if other websites, like Bing or Yahoo does the same! Also some antivirus, like Avast and AVG. There is an easy way to do it? Or the best option is to ask for another IP?
About my question, I'm asking it, because I think the IP was a porn website before. There is also a way to check it?
Ah, my IP:
191.252.59.101
Thanks!
This post seems to have some good advice on how to find historical whois information.
Aside from that, you can try to reach out to whoever maintains the blacklist you're on, but it'd probably be easier to just request a new IP.
I want to create a website for myself that no one else will use at the moment.
Do I need to get a domain name to be able to access the website remotely or can I just use the host IP address when I want to go on it?
It depends on what you're looking to do. For example, Ruby on Rails and Sinatra languages can be locally hosted. So you can basically create the website without ever having to 'push' it to a domain. You'll definitely need a domain if you want to access it remotely - the domain name is basically a mask for an IP address anyway, so they're really somewhat the same.
You can also have basic JavaScript (JS) /HTML/CSS sites locally hosted as well. So you don't really need a domain, until you want people to actually start showing up to it remotely.
Hope this helps!
Since last Saturday, my website accessibility has been very fragile from my location. From the states though, everything worked perfectly. Now the situation is better, but from time to time it's unstable here and from the states it's solid.
What do you suggest me to do? Is it related to the hosting company? Domain company? Local ISPs? DNS issues?
I'm really at a loss here, need your advice.
Thanks
This is your DNS issues. Trying fixing it or report this to your host provide for changing your DNS to one that is up and running. I hope this help solved your issues
This is impossible to say. You must find sample sites to compare to, such as: other site on same hosting company's servers, other site in same country, access Internet through another ISP or with/without Wi-Fi, pass through a proxy, etc. By comparing to those samples you'll MAYBE notice differences and similarities. Through logic you should then be able to exclude some hypotheses and finally nail down the problem.
Im hoping you geniuses here at stackoverflow can help me with this.
Recently i had to point my domain name to a network on Ning.com to map and merge the site with the domain, so i had to add an A and CNAME record. This disconnected the link between my domain and my web host and because of this my friends cant access their email anymore. Ning doesnt offer webmail either. And im not sure if i want to use Google Apps.
Is there a way i can retain the new domain pointer to the network on Ning.com and a pointer to my web host for the webmail? Or is there any other options i can take?
Thanks you so much :)
Is it an option for you to create a new A record to a subdomain like webmail.mydomain.com?
Not sure if this qualifies as a comment or answer, depends on your situation.
This is really more of a serverfault question also, if you want to try there.
Try Google Apps. You said you weren't sure if you wanted to use GA, but there's no better way to find out than to try it. It's easy to set up and if you don't like it, you can always disable it. I have personally had a good experience using GA for webmail on a custom domain.
I want to check a particular website from various locations. For example, I see a site example.com from the US and it works fine. The colleague in Europe says he cannot see the site (gets a dns eror).
Is there any way I can check that for my self instead of asking him every time?
This is a bit of self promotion, but I built a tool to do just this that you might find useful, called GeoPeeker.
It remotely accesses a site from servers spread around the world, renders the page with webkit and sends back an image. It will also report the IP address and DNS information of the site as it appears from that location.
There are no ads, and it's very stream-lined to serve this one purpose. It's still in development, and feedback is welcome. Here's hoping somebody besides myself finds it useful!
Sometimes a website doesn't work on my PC and I want to know if it's the website or a problem local to me(e.g. my ISP, my router, etc).
The simplest way to check a website and avoid using your local network resources(and thus avoid any problems caused by them) is using a web proxy such as Proxy.org.
Well, DNS should be the same worldwide, wouldn't it? Of course it can take up to a day or so until your new DNS record is propagated around the world. So either something is wrong on your colleague's end or the DNS record still takes some time...
I usually use online DNS lookup tools for that, e.g. http://network-tools.com/
It can check your HTTP header as well. Only a proxy located in Europe would be better.
Besides using multiple proxies or proxy-networks, you might want to try the planet-lab. (And probably there are other similar institutions around).
The social solution would be to post a question on some board that you are searching for volunteers that proxy your requests. (They only have to allow for one destination in their proxy config thus the danger of becoming spam-whores is relatively low.) You should prepare credentials that ensure your partners of the authenticity of the claim that the destination is indeed your computer.
DNS info is cached at many places. If you have a server in Europe you may want to try to proxy through it
It depends on wether the locatoin is detected by different DNS resolution from different locations, or by IP address that you are browsing from.
If its by DNS, you could just modify your hosts file to point at the server used in europe. Get your friend to ping the address, to see if its different from the one yours resolves to.
To browse from a different IP address:
You can rent a VPS server. You can use putty / SSH to act as a proxy. I use this from time to time to brows from the US using a VPS server I rent in the US.
Having an account on a remote host may or may not be enough. Sadly, my dreamhost account, even though I have ssh access, does not allow proxying.
The only thing that springs to mind for this is to use a proxy server based in Europe. Either have your colleague set one up [if possible] or find a free proxy. A quick Google search came up with http://www.anonymousinet.com/ as the top result.
