DISQUS

barryhand.ie: DNS oversight equals out of date website

  • Conor O'Brien · 2 years ago
    Hi Barry

    I came across your comments regarding the Betterhomes website whilst doing a search, and thank you firstly for bringing the problem with my website to my attention. I am not an expert when it comes to the internet and pay professionals to do same for me, however it seems to be a bit of a minefield trying to find the right person for the job. Anyway I am currently in the market for a talented web designer for two major projects and was wondering if you knew of anybody that maybe interested ?

    Unfortunately a LOT of sites suffer from this problem and worse. In some cases the ISPs don't even create A records for domain.tld, so people can't reach the site without the "www" which is a bit mad. I know there is an old RFC that some of them use as an excuse, but it still costs people.
    Another issue is shadow dns zones, which are leftover when domains are moved from one provider to another.
    It makes it all quite messy :)
