Comment on DDOS on Namecheap Free DNS and Default DNS V2parent

Comments

I'd also like to add that we have redunancy on our DNS V1. I advise switching over to this, in the meantime. Please find the tutorial here: https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx...

I tried this and now for some reason my apache server is returning the default page. also I think it wiped out my mailserver settings -- my mail is hosted on namecheap. i guess i gotta wait till everything is fixed.

I had a couple of domains to try this on. One domain switched over within a minute. The other has been almost an hour. I'm assuming the TLD makes a difference?

.com was < 1 minute, .cm is > 55 minutes.

ETA how long it will take for the transfer to be completed? I know that editing host records usually is instantaneous (unlike other providers), but we're talking about changing the DNS servers here.

Looks to be up around five to ten minutes after executing the change. Not too terrible.

Thanks! I just did the switch and the website was up in few minutes.
