Hosting a site, need help urgently

[rninja]

I have a lengthy question here.
I want to host a site that's already hosted on another server. Before I got into linux, I registered a domain name with a hosting service. In order to change hosting, they require the DNS servers (primary and secondary), but I cannot use the server IP, they want a hostname.

To solve this problem, I registered an account at a free Dynamic DNS server. I set up the DNS records for the DDNS account and everything seemed to work fine.

I sent the hosting service the DNS hostnames and they emailed me back telling me that there is a problem with the DNS. I tried this twice, and they cannot change to my hosts.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Did you allow for enough time so that the changes for the hostname trickle down through their dns servers? I take it they are trying to do your hostname lookup on their dns servers.

Which free DNS server did you use? I need to do this too.

Thanks.

I used

http://www.myip.org.

There are others like

http://www.dns2go.com

and

http://www.yi.org

also.

I've had the DNS servers and all the records up for over 3 weeks, that should have been more than enough time for any DNS updates right?
