Hello
I have a website hosted here vancitytourism.com which works perfectly but my other site vancitycomputers.com usually always comes up with an DNS error.
So recently I changed the servers to 000webhost.com, x10's main host? and I still get the same problem.

After checking with a couple of online proxy browsers, I found out that my ISP is the source of the problem.

I will be contacting them tomorrow, but Im curious as to why the tourism site works but the computer one doesnt... I would think the IP ranges would fall real close to each other.

Oh, I thought I could have as many for backup and it would just link with the first working one on the list... using the proxy browser, before and right now, webhost.com hosting loads.
I will trim it now.
NS01.000WEBHOST.COM
NS02.000WEBHOST.COM
NS1.X10HOSTING.COM
NS2.X10HOSTING.COM

having more then one set of name server makes the browser confused, especially if they say your domain points to different IPs, which is likely the case.

In theory you can have more then one, but then you MUST have the domain configured the same on the name servers, so unless you can actually add A record(s) with the correct IP to the other name servers they will direct your domain to different servers depending on which one responds, hence sometimes available, sometimes not.

I only kept a few name servers and the site loads up for me again. Hopefully this solved my problem, thank you both for your help. :):happysad::)
