Question About W3Theory

[Seker]

Alright, so three days ago, I switched hosting to W3Theory. After seeing a few recommendations on here (albeit, none of which were posted in, at least, the last six months) I figured this was the best option. However, my domain still has not propagated, causing me to lose days of development work. I'm just curious if this kind of time frame is normal, or is W3Theory just not a viable choice anymore? I know propagation can take some time, but my previous experience registering on a different host led me to believe within 24 hours was average.

Now, I'm not trying to flame W3Theory. Not at all. I just know I haven't received a response from a support ticket, or a direct message to Peter Leaman through MWG. Should I be worried at this point or just wait a while longer?

[Ishraq]

Its never anyone else's fault.

You have total control over propagation as you can change nameservers and etc.

Make sure you use the correct nameservers.

1. ns1.w3theory.com

2. ns2.w3theory.com

[Seker]

It was a new domain I registered at signup. Was I wrong to assume their nameservers were automatically applied?

[Seker]

The only reason I'm wondering if it's an actual nameserver issues is because this is what it says in my client portal on W3Theory:

Domain Management - (Back to My Domains)

Registration Date: 12/04/2012

Domain: ***.net

Payment Method: PayPal

First Payment Amount: ***

Recurring Amount: ***

Next Due Date: ***

Registration Period: 1 Year/s

Status: Pending

And, in the welcome email, it stated my nameservers are

Nameserver 1: ns1.w3theory.com

Nameserver 2: ns2.w3theory.com

[Seker]

Yeah, that status pending looks problematic.

Without asking what your domain is, go to:

http://www.domaintools.com/your-domain.com

And see if it is showing there as registered.

Then you can see if the problem is with it even being applied for, or showing in your client area.

Hope for the latter.

This domain name is not registered

Talk about problematic... Considering I already paid for it, what can I do to fix this?

DO you have peter msn email as im not one of his clients and he always respond to me in a matter of a min

[Seker]

As far as I can see, it looks like he is using a script for the domain, that is used widely by domain sellers, which means it should be automated.

You need to get in contact with him, to be honest.

That... or if you don't want to miss the domain, throw $10 somewhere else and get it registered elsewhere.

I've never had issues with the one I use. If you decide to just throw money somewhere else to guarantee getting it use these: http://www.rockethosts.net/domainreg/

Yeah, as I've said, I've sent in two support tickets, as well as a message to him on here. No answer yet. Not completely unreasonable on the weekend, so I'll give it a little more time. Don't think the domain's in danger by waiting just another day. I'll see how it goes. Thanks for the help, Bastard.

I'm presuming Peter is manually registering all of the domains and doesn't have it automatically setting them up for him.

Your best bet could be to purchase the domain through another domain registrar such as namecheap.com then point that yourself at the hosting and request a refund once Peter returns back.

He's contacted me and I'm going to see what we can work out. But thanks all for the help.

[W3Theory || Peter]

The issue has been solved. The reason was due to an error in the form provided that failed the automatic set-up and, in return, I had to register it manually. I am sorry for the delay, I was away at a Conference since Friday and wasn't able to get to a internet into today.
