domain name change
- Thread starter mowattc
- Start date
Ok, I'm not sure what happened, but now the domain isn't loading. After you mentioned it was changed, yesterday, I made sure my domain DNS settings were changed to gigaranks info, just as I have with others in the past. It changed over no problem, I was able to get in and setup the domain in my cpanel, get wordpress going, and got a decent chunk of the page setup (and tested the url out several times).
However, now, it just appears to time out.
--- *note* ok, now I am REALLY confused. I just tried it on my phone and it loaded right away, despite being connected to the same wifi. On my macbook, when I use chrome, or firefox (i use chrome on my phone) it just times out and says the page is not available. I even cleared the cache-- some problem. Any thoughts on why it's doing this?

DNS changes can take a while to propagate and it's not just about your computer. The DNS information is cached in other places on the network so there is often nothing you can do but wait and see. Sometimes it will jump back and forth between the old and the new a few times before it settles with the new one for good.
