changing to own domain with godaddy

Hi Guys,

I had a web app up an running on the pythonanywhere domain, but I deleted it in order to make a new web app, using the same code, and point it to my own domain.

My domain, www.orbitalpredictor.com, is hosted on godaddy, and before it was pointing to the nameserver of a different hosting platform, I removed that redirect, so that godaddies name servers are being used, and I added a record for type "CNAME" and NAME "www" to point to: webapp-177053.pythonanywhere.com

However its still not loading up, and when I put that webapp-177053 address into the browser it says the web app isn't active yet, am I doing anything wrong? Should I change the CNAME settings for the email and ftp as well on godaddy as well?

Go daddy seems to be still pointing to my old site, which is just a blank page saying HOME PAGE so maybe I just have to leave it a little longer.

Feel free to look at my apps code,

Thanks guys,

Shane

It's working now,

Thanks

Yay! Probably needed to wait a little bit for the dns change to propagate.

Okay now for some reason when I go to orbitalpredictor.com its pointing back to the old host, and the empty home page :/

I checked eco web hosting an it seems I had CNAME record for orbitalpredictor there also, which I have deleted, so maybe this is what changed it back to the old site

But either way, shouldn't http://www.webapp-177053.pythonanywhere.com/ load my app, instead of the coming soon page?

Thanks

Shane

Okay now it is no longer pointing at my old host, when i go to http://www.orbitalpredictor.com it just says:

"This page has been reserved for future use"

Does this mean it is switching over?

Thanks

Shane

Looks OK now -- did you manage to figure it out?

Yeah its strange, from my home network it works, but from the college network it shows the message saying "this page has been reseserved for future use"

Yeah its working everywhere now, my college dns server must just take longer to update, thanks guys
