: Changed DNS server for my domain and now host displays "waiting registry domain creation ack" I changed the DNS server for my ".it" domain name which is managed by OVH. Now the DNS change

@Connie744

The issue was that the secondary DNS server puck.nether.net was pointing to the old server's IP (at the time of the server migration puck.nether.net/dns/ was unavailable and apparently I forgot about it afterward):



For what reason I did receive a warning from puck.nether.net after I contacted OVH about the issue, but I had not received any before.

Error was: connection failed

We have been unable to transfer sp1n.it from 81.7.14.247 for more than
7 days. We have marked the domain for removal from our secondary dns
database. If you have fixed this condition, please reactive the
domain by logging in to our maintence page at

puck.nether.net/dns/

Learning outcome of the story: if the DNS change operation is on hold with a waiting registry domain creation ack message error message, it might mean that one of the DNS servers is pointing to the wrong BIND server IP. (meaningful error messages FTW!)
