Hi,

Can't figure this out, so i'll just list exactly what I did:

  1. Moved a website from old web host to new web host
  2. Changed nameservers for domain name to new web host
  3. To avoid downtime I kept the zone file active for the old host and setup everything with my new host.
  4. Later that day, DNS had updated and the site was now poinbnting at the new host ip -a all good.
That was 2 days ago. I've now gone to the client's site in querstion and and old version is loading. Also, when I ping the domain name the ip now points toi the old hosting.

I used some online ping tools and ping ing the site shows the correct ip (E.g. the new hosting). I also get the latest version of the site when viewing it via an online proxy.

Is this just my ISP having some sort of DNS caching issue or am I missing something?

May Thanks
 
I came across this issue with a dlink router that did basic dns caching. I would suggest its that or your ISP, although unlikely after 2 days.

Well that's weird thing.

I know for a fact the site was working as normal and pointing at the new hosting yesterday as I checked it myself.
