I'm changing hosts

[kitty_kate]

Hello all,

I just want to announce that I'm changing hosts this weekend, so my submitted free sites could be unavailable until the DNS change will propagate trough the net.

I buyed hosting from Dreamhost, and I hope they aren't selling just dreams lol.

The domain is my-asian-kitty.com

So... you Link List owners please don't ban me |thumb

Good luck Kate |thumb

For future reference, it goes a lot smoother if you leave your old hosting in place until after DNS propagates to your new host. If done properly and with no hiccups, completely eliminates downtime |thumb

[kitty_kate]

Thanks for advice MrYum, I'll sure do this way.

Yeah, when we moved GreenguyandJim, I think we were down for 10 mins while Sparky did some path changes for the board.

[kitty_kate]

OK, host changed.

Everything ran smoothly and I'm already seeing hits from several Link Lists in my stats. And as far as I could understand from http://www.squish.net/dnscheck/ it seems that the DNS changes are updating fast. |thumb

[MrYum]

Glad it went smoothly for ya Kate |thumb

[kitty_kate]

Yeah it went quite smooth.

One thing is not right, still. When I check on domaintools.com it still returns my old IP in the whois, altought at ping it shows the new IP (which is correct). I checked many other sites offering similar services and they all show my new IP.

And another thing to ask: how should I appeal against the ban at http://bl.usefulscripts.com/ ? I don't use anymore a free host.

Sounds like domaintools just hasn't updated their cache yet...it'll sometimes take up to 48-72 hours for everything to full propagate.

There should be a link on the useful scripts blacklist to appeal directly to whomever put you on the list.

Thanks MrYum, but there isn't any link there :)

Thanks MrYum, but there isn't any link there :)

Sure there is. My first look at the site, but it seems pretty straight forward. On this page http://bl.usefulscripts.com/blocked/ click on the " Appeals Procedure" link AFTER..


# Complete the form at the bottom of the page. ( NOTE: The form will only appear if you selected an item to appeal. You must search for the item and then click on the "appeal" link.)
# The contents of this form will be sent to the webmaster who added you to their Black List.
# The webmaster will review the item being appealed.

Could you please be so kind and show the obvious to me? Just look at the screenshot and please enlighten me

[Trev]

Sorry, but I don't have anything on the blacklist, so I can't help you with that page. It certainly looks like a link is missing, though.

If someone who can help you doesn't notice this thread, I would start a new one about the appeal process. (and include that screen cap). The webmasters that use that list, really have no reason to read this thread.

[kitty_kate]

Trev, you're right. I shall open a new thread.
