can't access website. just me. what can i do to force pc?

unwashed potato! · 5 Feb 2016 at 10:44

my website has just changed server and now i can't see it i get some 'default web site page' page and it's been over a day now. i'm pretty sure it's just my pc as i've checked with my phone using the same wifi and i can view the site.

i've tried flushing dns with cmd but it's not helped. also tried a variety of browsers, restarting pc and accessing the site by it's ip. none work

any suggestions?

what IP do you get when you ping it?

DNS is propagating.

If you move a website, it takers a few hours/days for everyone's records to get updated.

Your phone will be using it's mobile ISP DNS (unless you're on your wifi)

Odd question maybe, did you enter the domain/ip in your hosts file? If not that's one way to get you back on until things behave as expected.

thanks for the replies guys. not sure what the problem ever was but it's sorted now. i realised i could still access the folders like .co.uk/contact/. i was able to view the rest of the site just not the main index page. i deleted all cookies for this site from within chrome and it worked. odd as IE and firefox didn't work either until i deleted chrome's cookies and then it's fine.
