How to Blog?

We already saw the common issues when custom domain is involved where we saw a tool called DWI - Dig Web Interface which will help us get DNS records of a particular domain.

Today while coming across a forum thread, got to notice a strange thing ever. It's not the first time however. If you refer the article about corrupted DNS, the blog URL used had similar issue.

It is normally recommended to use "Authoritative" under Name servers when digging a domain. However this doesn't always workout.

We had a query in the forum on how to make a gadget appear only on mobile home page. So thought of sharing it.

In BHF, one of the common issues we face is setting up custom domain. We already have a lot of information on how to setup a custom domain. So I am going to go ahead and write on the troubleshooting tips for custom domain.

So let's start with the first and foremost golden rule of Custom domain troubleshooting.

Again as a part of Custom Domain Troubleshooting, we do Who Is lookup which gives us a handful of information.


What is Who Is Lookup?

Who Is lookup gives exactly what the name means. "Who Is". In addition to Who Is, this will give few useful information like,
Registrar InformationRegistered date and expiry information and so on.

How to do Who Is Lookup?

In  BHF, when it comes to custom domain, I or Chuck or any other expert mentioning a dig log URL mentioned most of the times as DWI.

What on earth is DWI?

DWI is expanded as DigWebInterface which is an online DNS Lookup tool which can be found at http://www.digwebinterface.com
