Enom Hosted Custom Domains Showing Intermittent Connectivity Issues

We are seeing reports from owners of several Blogger blogs, published to custom domains, of intermittent connectivity problems, reported inward Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken.

Recently, I convey been unable to charge my custom domain weblog www.mydomain.com. My browsers (whether Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.) all rate me they are "unable to uncovering the server". Various online utilities study problems also. I am able to instruct to Blogger together with my dashboard for the blog, but cypher volition charge the page. All other services on my figurer look to endure working normally.

The work appears to endure somewhat intermittent together with varying across dissimilar ISPs, together with diverse online utilities which I use.

The domains existence reported all look to endure registered amongst eNom - together with at start glance, domain registration appears normal. We convey to create simply about detailed investigation to position a consistent detail, which appears to endure mutual to all individually reported domains.

At start glance, the typical eNom registered domain - fifty-fifty those amongst this reported work - appears to endure normal.

REGISTRY WHOIS FOR mydomain.com  Registrar: ENOM, INC. Whois Server: whois.enom.com Referral URL: http://www.enom.com Status: clientTransferProhibited  Expiration Date: 2013-04-10 Creation Date: 2012-04-10 Last Update Date: 2012-04-10  Name Servers:     dns1.name-services.com     dns2.name-services.com     dns3.name-services.com     dns4.name-services.com     dns5.name-services.com

The clue to this work is seen inward the concluding sentence, inward the higher upwards example.

The work appears to endure somewhat intermittent together with varying across dissimilar ISPs, together with diverse online utilities which I use.

eNom uses v DNS servers. We tin cheque the output from each of the v servers, using the Kloth online Dig utility, together with specifying each server, inward turn.

Domain: mydomain.com
Server: dns1.name-services.com
Query: H5N1 (IPv4 address)

and repeat for dns2.name-services.com etc.

Running a Dig against each of the v servers, nosotros tin encounter a consistency problem. Here is a re-create of the v Dig logs, concatenated.

Examine the Dig logs from "dns3.name-services.com." together with "dns3.name-services.com.". See the reply from those servers, which returns exclusively an "SOA" for the ".com" Top Level Domain? This is consistent of a domain, improperly setup past times the registrar. In the cases reported inward Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken, my reply is simple.

In your case, servers #3 together with #4 create non look to properly recognise your domain. Any online service, quest either server #3 or #4 for your domain addresses, volition likely convey problems. This may explicate your inconsistent access problem. As the registered domain owner, you lot demand to contact eNom Customer Support. Show them the Dig logs from the v servers, together with inquire them why servers #3 together with #4 seem to convey a work serving your DNS addresses.

The work appears to involve domains setup on 4/9/2012 - 4/10/2012. Hopefully, plenty domain owners volition study their problems to eNom Customer Support, then this work tin endure investigated together with resolved.

(Update 6/18): With a modest but a useful diagnostic tool, to analyse DNS inconsistencies similar this.

Custom Domain Diagnoses - Put Dns Address Inconsistencies

One of the to a greater extent than intriguing causes of intermittent custom domain problems starts amongst inconsistent DNS server configuration. Recently, eNom, i of the "partners" inwards "Buy a domain", has been serving inconsistent DNS configurations, from fourth dimension to fourth dimension - including i rattling blatant episode the afternoon of 6/18/2012, which was reported past times several dozen angry weblog owners.

Detecting, in addition to diagnosing, the inconsistencies is typically a complicated process.

Identify the domain authorization servers, typically using a Who Is lookup.
Dig each domain address (typically "naked domain" in addition to "www" aliases), from each of the identified domain authorization servers.
Extract in addition to aggregate each Dig log.
Compare aggregated Dig snippets.

This was non a project for the faint of heart, or tech challenged, weblog owner.

Recently, I was given a handy tool which does all of this, inwards i quick GUI transaction.

The Dig Web Interface, nevertheless roughly other gratis online tool, provides us the mightiness to diagnose inconsistent DNS servers - such every bit the work eNom seems to have, inwards a thirty bit transaction.

Provide the "naked domain" in addition to "www" aliases.
Select "A" for "Type" ("A" / "CNAME" / "NS" lookups).
Select "Authoritative" for "Nameservers".
Hit "Dig".

Finally, but re-create the log produced, for examination.

It's non a fancy tool, but it does the chore - rattling well. Here, nosotros meet the log for this domain, "nitecruzr.net".

 www.nitecruzr.net@ns54.domaincontrol.com.: www.nitecruzr.net. 3600 IN CNAME ghs.google.com.

The log is non complicated, to parse. For each URL, each authorization server is identified, in addition to Dug. In the representative of this domain, hosted on GoDaddy, nosotros meet each URL, Dug from each of four authorization servers, i past times one.

If a DNS inconsistency existed, the inwards a higher house log would exhibit the differing DNS addresses - such every bit eNom hosted domains show, from fourth dimension to time. Given this tool, it may endure easier to await for DNS inconsistencies, when problems amongst custom domains are reported, inwards Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken.

Enom: Fix Your Dns Servers!

For over 2 months, we've been seeing reports from spider web log owners who published their blogs to custom domains, amongst domain DNS hosted yesteryear eNom, inwards Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken.

I bought my domain cite through Blogger,last week. It is beingness hosted yesteryear eNom. Ever since I bought it roughly of my followers, together with sometimes myself, can't access my site. There is either a DNS search or a "Ooops, Google Chrome can't find..."

I tried contacting eNom, together with they said they tin run across my site together with that all of my settings are correct. They enjoin it must live Google's problem.

The keyword hither is "sometimes".

Ever since I bought it roughly of my followers, together with sometimes myself, can't access my site.

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 uncomplicated Dig, purchased using "Buy a domain", volition live asymmetrical aka "Google Apps".

enomhosteddomain.com. 1800 IN Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 216.239.32.21 enomhosteddomain.com. 1800 IN Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 216.239.34.21 enomhosteddomain.com. 1800 IN Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 216.239.36.21 enomhosteddomain.com. 1800 IN Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 216.239.38.21 www.enomhosteddomain.com. 1800 IN CNAME ghs.google.com.

The problem, which non together with then many people appreciate, is that eNom uses multiple DNS servers, mayhap geographically separated. This is normal DNS hosting technique, together with guarantees redundancy if 1 information middle goes offline.

However, for redundancy to work, all DNS servers accept to live kept consistently synchronised. If nosotros attempt out the five eNom DNS servers individually, we volition oftentimes run across discrepancies.

This is 1 of the to a greater extent than subtle discrepancies, which I accept observed, inwards the yesteryear distich months - alone DNS Server #3 is out of synch, inwards this case. But that's enough, to brand the domain unreliable.

The work is intermittent. All all of a abrupt my site loads, only 10 minutes agone it didn't.

That's one eNom customer, out of over a dozen, which I accept documented. And that's 1 eNom customer, who should live complaining, to someone to a higher house eNom Customer Service.

eNom: cook your servers!

(Update 2012/07/03): Suspicion that the work is related to Anycast DNS led me to a bud, who is a immature homo TC, together with a network skillful inwards India, together with who provided an intriguing spider web log post, neatly diagnosing the underlying problem. It appears that eNom server monitoring policies may live a fleck superficial.

Use 3Rd Political Party Dns Servers, For 1And1 Domains

Not all registrars are able to back upwards the novel Blogger domain ownership verification requirement.

Some registrars won't permit a minute "CNAME" inwards the same subdomain - together with others can't handgrip the excessively long target address. Ever since Blogger added domain ownership verification, we've been seeing complaints from around spider web log owners, who direct maintain purchased domains direct from registrars who can't supply the required DNS addresses on their servers.

Even though non all registrars direct maintain DNS servers that volition supply the correct DNS address entries, almost registrars volition permit us to piece of work 3rd political party DNS servers. The piece of work of publicly available DNS servers, which tin give the sack supply the required DNS addresses, volition eliminate the necessitate to transfer domain registration - when the registrar is unable to supply the correct DNS addresses, using their ain servers.

If you're trying to setup your domain, purchased from 1And1 or a like registrar, y'all necessitate exclusively to setup a suitable 3rd political party DNS server.

If your registrar limits their services, piece of work a 3rd political party DNS host.

Use of a 3rd political party DNS host volition also help victims of the eNom DNS Infrastructure problem - together with those who purchased Name Registration, direct from the registrar.

An explanation of the solution is provided, past times Blogger Engineers.

Marc Ridey, of Blogger Engineering, provides How to setup your Blogger spider web log amongst a custom domain from 1and1.com, together with adds iii elementary steps to the normal 3rd political party registrar domain setup process.

Setup a (free) ClouDNS account.
Setup your normal DNS addresses (plus the domain ownership verification "CNAME", if required) inwards ClouDNS, using the ClouDNS Domain Manager wizard.
Setup your domain, using your registrar's domain managing director wizard, pointing to the ClouDNS DNS servers.

Do each step, ane at a fourth dimension - together with banking venture gibe your work.

When y'all update DNS addresses, such equally adding additional hosts, together with ownership verification, y'all piece of work the ClouDNS Domain Manager wizard.

Note the caveat, for advanced domain owners.

If y'all are using your 3rd political party registrar because y'all direct maintain non Blogger services (a spider web site, email, files, or other service) hosted past times the registrar, delight banking venture complaint the alert past times Marc!

Warning: If y'all are using 1and1 hosting services to display a website equally good equally a Blogger blog, these instructions volition disable the website. Please post a comment amongst your website address together with I'll banking venture gibe how these instructions must last updated. If you're using eMail, scream back to consummate the optional eMail step.

Note that ClouDNS, when setup, may offering the choice to redirect the domain origin (aka "naked domain") to the "www" alias (or whatever DNS address y'all may setup). For best results, ignore that option, together with piece of work the Blogger or Google Apps redirect.

There are yet exclusively three acceptable DNS models - piece of work of ClouDNS, or whatever like 3rd political party DNS host, volition non alter that.

This may non last a perfect solution - merely it volition create a stable domain.

This may non last an ideal solution for the work - it introduces a combat of complexity into the domain setup process. This volition permit owners of newly purchased domains from 1And1, Network Solutions, together with others to get their domains verified, together with instruct their blogs online again.

Since this starts amongst spider web log owners who elected to buy their domain direct from a registrar - together with setup the domain themselves - perchance it's non also much, technically.

Accessing The Registrar's Domain Manager, Later On Using Purchase A Domain

Setting upwards a custom domain, too publishing a spider web log to a non BlogSpot URL, is a elementary plenty occupation - when nosotros are able to use the "Buy a domain for your blog" wizard.

Sometimes, after using "Buy a domain ...", nosotros may nevertheless accept to access the registrar's Domain Manager sorcerer - mayhap to setup additional hosts, or to use the domain amongst non Blogger services.

When nosotros usage "Buy a domain", along amongst setting upwards the domain for us, the Blogger / Google sorcerer sets upwards a novel eNom or GoDaddy domain possessor account. To allow us later on login to eNom or GoDaddy, the "Buy a domain" sorcerer saves the login information, for our novel occupation organization human relationship - inward a Google Apps desktop wizard.

Here is yet 1 to a greater extent than argue why nosotros absolutely must setup the provided Google Apps account, after receiving the Google Apps email. Be aware of the oddities of the Google One Login wizard, too Google Apps, when logging in.

The procedure of managing a domain, when setup using "Buy a domain", is non equally good complicated.

Setup a novel Google Apps account. Since free Google Apps accounts are no longer offered, you'll accept to setup a Trial - or express purpose - account.
Login to Google Apps.
Retrieve the Google Apps registrar login information, from "Advanced DNS settings".
Login to the registrar (eNom or GoDaddy).

With later on domains, purchased using "Buy a domain", you lot may exactly accept to activate the "bloggeradmin" account, for your domain.

The domain possessor registrar login data is correct there, inward "Advanced DNS settings".

The domain possessor login data is inward the Google Apps desktop.

Go to "Domain settings" - "Domain names" - "Advanced DNS settings".
Open a novel browser tab or window, clicking on "Sign inward to DNS console".
Copy the Sign-in name, too the Password, to the appropriate boxes on the sign-in dialogue, too click "Login".
