RE: Service Interruption
Update on the site move:
All work relating to the site move has now been completed and admin would like to thank members for bearing with things over the last 3 days as the site was transitioning. To fully move a site does take up to 72 hours and various discrepancies can be experienced during that time, especially with the domain name.
Although it's being stated here that the site move is complete, there may well still be issues with the domain name as this is something which is outside our control and is explained in further detail below. But since some people may still have problems with the babeshows domain, the link from babechannels.co.uk has not been updated at the moment and has been left as an alternate url.
To finally update that link is the sole remaining task to finally seal the completion of the move, but it seems wise to leave it as an alternate url for now until we're sure that there is nobody at all left who can't access the site using it's proper domain name. Hopefully this is something that won't take much longer.
Additional note on DNS propagation:
Please note that each ISP (Internet Server Provider) routinely caches the DNS records. In other words, they create their own copy of the master records, and they access this copy locally to search for a website, each time one of their users tries to view it.
Each ISP has its own standard timeframe for updating the DNS record cache, ranging from a few hours to a few days. This time between caches prevents an ISP's users from immediately viewing a website which changes its DNS records and they have to wait until the next cache occurs in order to do so (unless they are able to contact the website they want to view and obtain a temporary url to access the site).
This gradual updating of ISP records is known as DNS propagation. Eventually the updated DNS information for a website gets propagated across all ISPs on the web and at that time the website will be accessible to all through it's registered domain name. If you are unable to access a website which changed it's DNS records more than 72 hours ago, it may be worth querying this with your ISP's support desk.
