Domain Availability Lookup very slow


Patsjoelie

Recommended Posts

Hi all ...

I'm using the integration code "Domain Availability Lookup" on our site.

Possible TLD's are .be, .nl, .eu, .com, .org, .net, .info .

 

A domain lookup (no mather what TLD) is very slow. Average around 40 seconds for a lookup.

Is this normal behaviour?

If not, what could be the reason for this slow performance?

 

Would it be possible to create some kind of progress bar while the lookup is being done? Some kind of spinning circle with "please wait" or something?

 

Thanks for any help on this!

have a look in the .tpl file for that page I thought there was a please wait and if not then you could find the place it would need to be in that file and add some custom code for that. but as to how long it takes to do the lookup it depends a lot on the time of the day. you could put a note there also saying like "from time to time are lookup's get very busy so please bare with us please"

Hi Simon,

Thanks for your reply.

 

I'm afraid people don't wait 40 second for a lookup to finish :(

I just did a check on your site and my site simultaneously and while i get a response with you immediate i'm waiting on my own site for quit some time using the same domain name and TLD. :(

 

I guess there is something server wide thats not playing well, but i don't have any idea :(

Thanks again,

Pat.

On my site I just noticied a customer come in (via provided support) and try and search for a .com domain I then thought I would the domain lookup page and try my own search to only find that is slow and does not work.

 

When i search for any .com domain i get a red message unavailable.

 

The customer has gone now and most likely the sale as well :(

 

Is anyone else having any issues?

I was on 4.02 but upgraded to 4.1.1 it all started to work again a few hours later, it was if a server was down where it goes to, to resolve .com names.

 

Still waiting for more info from WHMCS but i definitely lost some business this afternoon :(
