John, start using the arc welder again INSIDE your factory building, and stay out of those manholes from now on...

Whatever you say, Elys, but wouldn't have made much difference.
No problems here- bad upstream DNS propagation at Register.com, should resolve itself as user's DNS servers flush their cache and reload.
Rickenbacker.net and some of our other sites were not affected as different servers are authoritative.

You could set up and run your own DNS servers, instead of using Register.com servers - it would give you more control over your name resolution and you will not be at the mercy of the performance (or lack thereof) of the Register.com servers.
Even better, let one company run one of the two DNS servers listed in your domain registration, and let another company run the secondary DNS. It is the old principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket. You have created a single point of failure when both DNS servers in your domain reg are run by the same company. The whole reason that DNS servers are listed in pairs is to give you the wise option to dual-home your DNS on two different DNS server networks.
And of course, we would be happy to run secondary DNS for you and you can keep your primary at Register.com. As an alternative we would be happy to transfer your domains to our registration services and run your DNS for you, dual-homed. At your estimated level of traffic usage we would not charge you anything. Not one user who has registered a domain with us over the last seven years has ever had a registrar-related propagation issue

Simplified English translation:
Every computer in the world has a (somewhat) unique number, called the IP address.
If you want to get to Rickenbacker.com, do you know its IP address? No, you probably don’t.
(It is easy to look up though.)
Therefore, there has to be a directory somewhere matching the names (like “Rickenbacker”) with the numbered address of the computer. Sort of like a phone book. (Those of us old enough to remember what phone books were.)
The directory system that keeps track of all that is called DNS (Domain Name System).
Feel a little better now?
