Who can beat my domain for the longest domain propagation time?!

[almannai]

I set my domain name servers SCREENPLAY.MOBI  on 3/2/2017 but still didn't reached us actually it propagate to only few (5) servers around the world in Europe.   

The odd thing it start propagate from India!!

I double checked the name servers they are correct

I contacted Godaddy and bluehost(host provider) with no luck

Today is the fifth day and no changes at all!!

Any suggestions

Hey @almannai,

That does sound odd as the longest (most extreme) cases of domain propagation is 48 hours. You mentioned that it propagated in some regions but in your area there's been no change for over 5 days? This sounds more like a caching issue. 

Have you tried clearing your local cache settings on your browser or even accessing from another device or network if possible?

[almannai]

I don't have to do that as bluehost don't see it too

The Godaddy support said that it can take more than 4 days!!!

You can try or anybody

Hey @almannai,

I don't believe this is a DNS propagation issue. I've ran a few public tests through Pingdom tools, HostTracker, and a DNS DiG lookup. The first two are hitting the nameservers at ns1/ns2 bluehost.com, but they're also coming up with "Host not found" results. When reviewing further in DiG, there doesn't appear to be any A zone records pointing to an IP address for your site. 

If Bluehost is the hosting provider, I would reach out to them once more to verify that you're using the correct authoritative nameservers or have them correct the zone records for you to have your domain pointed to your hosted site.

I appreciate your help I will contact them now and let you know

We can push it on our end for once the name servers actually point to us but until godaddy pushes the nameservers again so it'll propagate everywhere, our records won't take effect.

Hey @almannai, 

Please advise Bluehost that the domain is already pointing to NS1/NS2 nameservers. I've just ran another public DiG test with trace results to confirm this at Kloth.net which returned the following:

I've also ran this by our Domain team who pushed a reconcile event through earlier just to be sure. The domain is (as it has been for some time now) pointing to Bluehost. If NS1/NS2 are the not the correct nameservers then they need to verify which ones are so you can go in and point the domain name to the correct ones, otherwise they'll need to correct the missing DNS zone files.

Thank you guys,

Finally someone from bluehost listen to my repeated complain and fix the issue
