Bad domain settings can "partially" work. Make sure she's set to her own
connecting ISP's correct domain servers, or a more dependable outside DNS.

Thanks to everyone who replied - it was very helpful.

Stephen, I have had the same experience - propagation is very rapid (I 
also use both Dreamhost and on-rev :-)


But in this case, the one person who actually matters is still not able 
to see her own website. I'm starting to think it's her computer, not DNS 
(though the web tool I mentioned says that 6 out of the 20 sites it uses 
worldwide still do not see the domain properly).


I'll try Wayne's suggestions re. Windows / Firefox - or maybe just get 
her to switch off/on her computer and see if that helps.


Thanks again
-- Alex.

I agree with this, propagation in general is very very quick now.  One think
else to check which I have found to be the case on Windows with Firefox is
that the browser is somehow caching the old version of the path to the
resource and refreshing is still using that old DNS address to the URL.

This can be checked from another computer at the same location that hasn't
logged into the page (it will find the new) while the other computer still
shows the old resource.

Completely quitting firefox and reloading will then find the new correct
URL.  I don't know the technicalities of the situation but the macro view is
as if the browser has cached the old DNS lookup to the URL as opposed to
simply caching the resources at that address and simply navigates the old
path.  I don't know if there is another way to refresh that part, it never
was a big enough problem to simply restart Firefox.

Hi Alex,

I can see the page.

I'ts going to be a DNS propagation delay...more info below:

To speed up the internet, Internet Server Provider (ISP) caches their DNS
records. They create their own copy of the master record, and access it
locally to search for website, each time someone tries to view it.  This
procedure speeds up the internet, reduces the traffic and thus help ISP work
faster.

Each ISP caches DNS record and update it every few days. Each ISP have there
own standard time frame to update the cache DNS record. This delay from your
ISP will prevent you from viewing your website. This process is know as DNS
propagation delay.

Off-topic - but I could do with a favour.

I'm helping a friend develop a new web site, and although I created it a couple 
of days ago, it (apparently) isn't yet visible to her. I can't tell whether 
it's simply a DNS delay - just longer than I'm used to, or some other problem.

So could a few of you let me know whether or not you can reach 
http://www.melaniechmielewska.co.uk
(and if you can see it, any other comments are welcome; note the gallery and 
corbel photos are incomplete, but they will be there tomorrow )

And, to be slightly more general - anyone know of a service / website that will 
let you check DNS name visibility in a number of locations around the web ?  I 
tried the one at http://www.mob.net/~ted/tools/dns.php3 but wasn't convinced it 
is very authoritative.

Thanks
-- Alex.

Works here.

I notice that sometimes the DNS cache on my Mac needs to be flushed after a DNS 
change. If she's on a mac that might be the issue.

On OS X 10.5 and higher the shell command to do this is:

dscacheutil -flushcache
