I'm not sure if it's bluehost that's doing this or my old host but it took quite a while for me to finish a domain transfer and now that I'm done, it's not working T-T

yesterday it worked fine, my domain pointed to bluehost servers. but now today it goes back pointing to my old host server. I checked the nameservers for my domain and it's pointing to bluehost but when I log into my old host, it's pointing to their servers. I still haven't cancelled my account from theirs yet because I haven't backed up everything yet. Is that the reason it keeps switching back? I've already sent a request for them to change my name servers but I get this message from them:

Our records show that you have already contacted to unlock the domain to transfer the domain mcr3ations.net. Since your domain mcr3ations.net is in the process of register transfer, you are unable to change the nameserver the domain. Once your domain complete the registers transfer process, you will be able to change the nameserver of the domain.

my response: ok....

basically my mcr3ations.net domain should be how my mckpop.com domain looks like. in my bluehost account it doesn't say that the transfer is incomplete but it's still pointing to my old host server. can anyone help me? :confused:

Well I just went to both domains. I did a WHOIS on mcr3ations.net and its pointed to the Bluehost nameservers. Now when I go to it, it comes up with a complete website about Korean music. When I go to mckpop.com it comes up with a page saying that you are waiting for the domain to switch over. Am I understanding you correctly in that you are saying both pages are suppose to be showing up as mckpop.com does with the website down notice and not the complete site?

^ yes, both websites should look like mckpop.com... well I just came home today and found both sites directing to bluehost now so I guess it's fixed :)

Ok, Good. See what happened was there are several connections that you can go through to get to a part of the internet. Now each one of those only updates once every 24 hours or so. So you probably caught one that just updated yesterday but today you got another.
