My "site" currently consists of only one page with my Google calendar displayed. If I direct a browser to www.myaddress.info, it works fine; if I go to myaddress.info, sometimes it works, but sometimes I get a partial - just the frame from around the calendar and my name. It doesn't seem to be consistent, browser-specific, or have to do with changes to my GCal.<br> <br> Any thoughts? Anything I can do, or is it a fluke on the hosting side - slow/bad DNS propagation or some such? Should I fiddle with DNS redirection via my GoDaddy account to simply redirect the sometimes-working address to the always-working one? post:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.101467 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 11:09:06 -0800 attercoppe godaddy hosting domain web website url google calendar gcal http://ask.metafilter.com/101467/Whats-up-with-my-website#1473170 I had the same issue when I first moved one of my domains to GoDaddy, and found that it was slow DNS propagation.
