Website wont refresh

[ImageView]

I have changed a web domain to a new host and uploaded a new site, yet my browser/Laptop still shows the old site. Other computers show it correctly.

Ive re-booted and cleared cookies but makes no change.Bafflled.:shake:

do you mean other computers in your house, or other computers elsewhere with different internet service providers?

It could be the DNS for you site that hasn't updated yet. This can take 24 to 48 hrs from changing to a new host.

Assuming your using Windows you may want to try and flush your DNS resolver cache:

> Goto your run command and type: cmd and then enter
> At the prompt type: ipconfig /flushdns and then press enter.

Then give it a try.

Have you rebooted your router? Some routers will act as a DNS server for the network - it could be the problem is there.

If not, it's probably a DNS propagation issue. When you type a name of a website into the browser, it the machine asks it's DNS server "what's the IP address of <web address>". Each ISP has it's own DNS server so when your friends access the website, they are asking a different machine what the address is. As mike says, give it 48 hours from you changing the address for it to propagate and then contact your ISP if you are still having problems.

It should also be noted that some ISP DNS caches ignore the TTL in the zone file for the domain and just cache everything for seven days.

Hi guys it has rectified itself by today. Although I still have the same issue when I make changes to webpages,they dont show up for a long while.Maybe its my ISP or something.Or PC even.


Spoke too soon it has reverted back.When I use an ISP cloak it works as it should,so something odd going on with my IP seemingly.

Are you using static IP address on your PC or you get it dynamically?

Maybe, it would be worth trying to set yourself a static DNS address, lets say from Google, some info how to do this: http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using.html

It just seems something is not correct (most likely with your router). Hard to say. You may try using Google DNS if will not help then follow the below:

Start--> Run
type CMD, once DOS terminal window is open then type:

ipconfig /release [hit enter]
ipconfig /renew [hit enter]
ipconfig /flushdns [hit enter]
ipconfig /registerdns [hit enter]

Get another PC on your network at home, if it still happens on this PC its your router/ISP, if it doesn't, its your PC.
