Intermittent DNS errors. IP team not able to diagnose
-
Intermittent DNS errors showing up in GSC for our fashion portal www.AJIO.com. Our IP team doesn't find any issues at our end. Everytime i write to them, they come back saying 'DNS is resolving fine in all servers'.
How do we resolve this? Pl help

There are a few issues with the DNS that I can see. First off, the email address in the SOA record is wrongly formatted, so won't receive mail. While that isn't the source of your issue, your IT people should change it so that they can receive messages about the DNS. Change this:
to this:
jliodns\admins.ril.com.
(Copy all of that exactly, including the dot at the end of the line.)
Secondly, there are different SOA serial numbers available. There are four nameservers for ajio.com, and they are ns1.ajio.com, ns2.ajio.com, ns3.ajio.com, and ns4.ajio.com. When I query ns1, ns2, or ns4, I get back a line like this:
ajio.com. 3600 IN SOA ns1.ajio.com. jiodns.admins@ril.com. 2016052708 10800 900 1209600 86400
But from ns3 I get this line:
ajio.com. 3600 IN SOA ns1.ajio.com. jiodns.admins@ril.com. 2016041301 10800 900 1209600 86400
The difference is the serial number (the bit after ril.com.): it's 2016052708 in the first case, and 2016041301 in the second. These numbers should always be the same. It looks from this line as though the ns3 nameserver should be fetching the newer serial number every 10800 seconds, yet it clearly isn't because it has a serial number from April 2016, while the other three nameservers have a serial number from May 2016. That's still not enough to explain your issue, but basically, your IT team need to investigate the performance of their nameservers, because this may be the symptom of a wider issue.
Good places for them to start are here and here. The first of those two links is the Pingdom test that Nicolas linked to, but with the important difference that it's checking ajio.com, rather than www.ajio.com.

Take the first tool available http://dnscheck.pingdom.com/?domain=www.AJIO.com and it seems your domain have errors.

Download all GSC crawl errors: Possible today?
Hey guys: I tried to download all the crawl data from Google Search Console using the API and solutions like this one: https://github.com/eyecatchup/php-webmaster-tools-downloads but seems that is not longer working (or I made something wrong, I just receive a blank page when running the PHP file after some load time)... I needed to download more than 1.000 URLs long time ago, so I didn't tried to use this method since then. Is there any other solution using the API to grab all the crawl errors, or today this is not possible anymore? Thanks!

The benefits from having a dedicated IP
Is the true? Claim by SiteGround Having a dedicated IP for each website is considered by some experts as an advantage for search engine optimization. There is a common believe that sites with dedicated IP addresses do better in the search engine results than those on shared IPs. Such sites do not share the risk of being banned for sharing the same IP in case another website hosted on the same server gets banned by a search engine.

DNS or 301 Website Redirect
We are running a marketplace site, so we have thousands of vendors selling their products on our site. Each vendor has a Profile page and we are soon to launch a premium store-front that is white label. Many of these vendors will want to point a custom url to their premium store-front (which is a sub domain of the marketplace) and we are trying to get an understanding of how we should instruct them to point their url in a way that will give the main marketplace site the seo juice. We also want to understand what will show up in the address bar. Will it be their url or our sub domain? Will any of the marketplace seo juice boost their url local listing status?

Google Cache Redirection Issue? Or awaiting DNS Propagation?
We have just launched an Australian version of our .com site. The domain example.com.au used to redirect automatically to example.com. We updated the DNS to point to our new Australian site on 13 August and have started a two week soft launch to iron out issues and allow us to start the indexing process. The issue is, when I'm checking to see if we have been crawled yet, if I do I search for: cache:http://www.example.com.au The cache automatically redirects to http://www.example.com and shows the cache for that site. The date on the cache is: 14 Aug 2012 20:47:34 GMT. My question is, have I missed something during this process or are we just waiting for the DNS change to fully propagate?

Changing Server IP Addresses. Should I be concerned?
Hello Mozers Our site has been on a dedicated server for about four years now. (no other sites, just ours on the server) I have made the decision to move it to a much better and faster server than the current server we are on for more than one reason. My big fear is Google will lose trust for my site because of the IP change. Ip's stay with the server at 1and1 they do not follow the website. So, I have done my due diligence and copied over all code and databases and have tested it completely to insure there are no issues when I change the DNS to point to the new server. Made sure 1and1 is giving me an IP that has never been used, I am Keeping the old server on until cached DNS records expire for it. Is there anything else I need to do to make sure I do not lose current rankings in Google? I have heard nightmare stories about making these kinds of changes but at this point for our site there is no turning back this is a change that must take place. Any pointers and advice would be much appreciated! Thanks!

And created a custom 404 page - http://www.tvsphoto.com/missingurlexample Is there anything else I can do?
