I have a domain called www.kickassgamekeys.com for which I switched namerservers and it shows that it is updated. When I try to access it form work it takes me to the new server (default opencart theme) but when I access it form home I always get the old website. I always use same laptop. Switch happened about 30h ago.

Maybe someone has any thoughts?

Yes I tried CTRL+F5. I can enter website form my laptop form work, same laptop but at home and I am directed to the old website.

You need to use dig to find the TTL of the reponse you are observing in your respective location. It's likely that e.g. your home router still has an old cached entry.

dig www.kickassgamekeys.com
...
www.kickassgamekeys.com. 14400  IN  CNAME   kickassgamekeys.com.
kickassgamekeys.com.    14385   IN  A   162.212.134.232
...
;; SERVER: 192.168.1.1#53(192.168.1.1)
...

The 14400 indicates 4 hours of TTL. That shouldn't linger so long.

Take special note of which server gave you that answer. It may have a caching issue. Use

dig +trace

to get the chain of name servers that are used to resolve your domain name, and check their responses using

dig @<DNS resolver IP>

to query them directly.

  • Emm should I restart my router or reset it so it would flush the dns? I tried flushing trough CMD but no use :/

  • If you're out of luck, restarting won't help either. Have you - I dunno - like, tried it? Pretty avant garde of me, I know ;-) Aug 5, 2014 at 15:03
  • I will try but my ISP has custom firmware in the router so I am trying to call the support. But why is it like that :/
