I have problems with my A DNS record. My parent domain is www.altermedia.ba. Last month we bought new hosting service at Arvixe, and registered our subdomain curiosity.altermedia.ba on their DNS servers. Arvixe sent me ip addresses of DNS servers for our subdomain curiosity.altermedia.ba. So, for my parent domain altermedia.ba I have one DNS servers, and Arvixe DNS servers for my subdomain curiostiy.altermedia.ba. In my altermedia.ba DNS servers I added NS records for curiosity.altermedia.ba, which are pointing to my Arvixe DNS server.

In my Arvixe DNS server I added A record for curiosity.altermedia.ba, but when I browse http://curiosity.altermedia.ba, I get DNS resolving error.

When I run DNS lookup for NS record for my curiosity.altermedia.ba domain on following site: http://www.samdns.com/default.aspx I get following results:

Domain: curiosity.altermedia.ba. Answer: ns1.cheetah.arvixe.com.
Domain:curiosity.altermedia.ba. Answer:ns2.cheetah.arvixe.com.

That is totaly fine, but when I run same test looking for A record of curiosity.altermedia.ba, it's not working and it says that there is no A record.

Where is the problem?

  • It looks like you're actively modifying the zone as I'm typing this, so it's hard to help you because the information I have at my disposal keeps changing.

  • There currently is an A record. That website is doing some weird redirect to Facebook.

  • My web site should redirect to facebook, it is OK. But why I can't access it? Chrome tells me it can't find my site?

On dns-srv-01.lol.ba., you want these records (in the altermedia.ba zone):

altermedia.ba.    NS    dns-srv-01.lol.ba.
altermedia.ba.    NS    dns-srv-02.lol.ba.
curiosity.altermedia.ba.    NS    ns1.cheetah.arvixe.com.
curiosity.altermedia.ba.    NS    ns2.cheetah.arvixe.com.

On ns1.cheetah.arvixe.com., you want these records (in the curiosity.altermedia.ba zone):

curiosity.altermedia.ba.    NS    ns1.cheetah.arvixe.com.
curiosity.altermedia.ba.    NS    ns2.cheetah.arvixe.com.
curiosity.altermedia.ba.    A     <ip here>

  • But in curiosity.altermedia.ba zone, I can't add NS record. Only A, CNAME and TXT

  • Maybe those two are setup automatically by the provider? The most important part is the main zone file which should have NS records for the curiosity domain.

  • By the way, if you want curiosity.altermedia.ba to point to 198.58.85.113, it's already working.

Name Server (NS ) entry you need to do in Domain Registrar.

  • Instead of ARVIXE DNS use DNSEXIT its fast and reliable once u create DNS Record with DNSEXIT update name servers with Domain Registrar. 1. ns1.dnsexit.com 2. ns2.dnsexit.com 3. ns3.dnsexit.com 4. ns4.dnsexit. Feb 20, 2013 at 17:58
