DNS / IP Account Information

Every domain account on Adult Virtual Hosting network has its own UNIQUE IP address. This fact alone makes your web hosting service with us a higher quality product than over 80% of the other virtual hosting providers on the net. Your own unique IP address makes accessibility to your site and server ABSOLUTE from any point on the net. No matter what other systems on the net are doing, your site will always be accessible on the net via its IP. Most Internet Service Providers capture this address from Internic's root nameserver and cache them on their local nameservers to be more efficient. The only thing you need to remember is that if we upgrade or change your domain name on our servers, it can take some time for ISP's to get updated with that information.

Please Note* If you ever need to access your server and cannot access it by domain name, simply type in the IP address in place of the domain, you will reach the server as long as your ISP has a stable connection to the net and our machines are up.

How to find your IP address viaTelnet

Looking up your IP via telnet is VERY EASY. All you need to do is log on to your server via telnet (or any ISP's server for that matter), and type in the "nslookup" command as follows
nslookup mydomainname.com

You will see the IP for that domain name show up in response.

Remember you can look up any domain name's IP using this command, provided that the authority handling that top level domain (.org, .com, .net, .to, .edu, are examples of top level domains) are able to respond to the request, of which most, including Internic, which is by far the largest authority, are.
