When we perform certain major server upgrades, or if your account is moved to another server, your site IP address may change. In this case, you may find that your computer is still resolving your domain name to the old IP address because it has been remembered for s period of time. You can speed up the process of the computer resolving to your website's new location as follows:

Click Start, then Run
Type in: cmd <enter> (or command for pre-Windows XP computers)
type in: ipconfig /flushdns

You should see a message similar to the following:

Code:

C:\Documents and Settings\Chris>ipconfig /flushdns

Windows IP Configuration

Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.

C:\Documents and Settings\Chris>


Just type exit <enter> to close the window and then try accessing your site again.
