Talk:Mirror Domain

Email
Previous version mentioned e-mail, but the Manage Domains section of the DreamHost Panel does not affect e-mail service. The mirror/redirect/park/cloak options are for web hosting only. Atropos 23:37, 15 Jun 2006 (PDT)

Question moved from article
In my case, I want to have a mirror domain as an alternate way to access a site until the real domain is transferred. When the real domain is tranferred, there will be no lag for the content. Meanwhile, I can test in the mirror domain.

Unique Mirror Dilemma?
I keep being referred to various existing support frameworks, none of which describe my situation or have solutions which work. I used a dreamhosters mirror with my primary site, just to check a couple of things, and when everything was in place I repointed my nameservers. But instead of having my site appear, the site I host for my chiropractor appeared. My primary site was NOT set up to mirror her site (!!) but it was mirroring it and I couldn't deactivate the mirror; nothing done in the Domain Manager resolved it.

I put in a support ticket but it's slow and I was going out of town for a conference so I duplicated my primary site under another domain name and was able to get it to mirror the duplicate domain. Now I'm home and I need my site to BE my site. Again, after following the various steps offered by DH support, I fully hosted my primary domain (again) but instead up comes my chiropractor's website. AGAIN.

Everything looks right in the Domain Manager and none of the other 10 hosted sites are having problems - but MINE, this is a problem!!

Has anybody else had rogue mirroring issues? Lynn 19:43, 12 March 2013 (PDT)
