Transfer of Domain (Help)

I purchased my domain from 123-reg, and designed a website using Wix.

Via my control panel I made the appropriate changes with reference to the DNS settings and IP settings.

I then waited approximately 48 hours for the domain to be transferred so the site could go live.

Earlier this afternoon I entered my domain www.jandjc.co.uk in several browsers to check the status; this delivered positive results and my domain was connected to my website.

However we have 4 PCs in the business and whilst I could get access to my site via my domain 1 PC couldn't...yet it is a Windows 7 OS and has all the latest flash updates installed.

After an hour had passed the PC could obtain access to the site via the connected domain.

However despite working on my laptop all afternoon and evening, I tried to access my site via the connected domain www.jandjc.co.uk several minutes ago but now takes me back to the landing page on 123-reg, yet other computers within the business can still access the site via the connected domain.

I have double checked the DNS and IP settings and everything seems in order but when I put the link to my website in facebook it redirected to the 123-reg landing page - yet the other PCs are still connecting to the site.

Can anyone explain what the problem is - alternatively can you please see if you can obtain access to the site by visiting www.jandjc.co.uk.

Your feedback relating to this strange problem would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks.
 
Your DNS looks good so it looks like DNS caching, either in the Windows PCs or the DNS servers you are using.

Rebooting will clear the Windows cache, but are you using a router for DNS? That could be caching incorrectly.

Also, I would open a command window (Run "CMD"), then type "ipconfig /all" for all the PCs on your network.

Compare the "DNS Servers" entry on all the PCs. They should be the same, but if one is different, that would explain the discrepancy.

Also, be aware that when a website domain is transferred, or the nameservers changed, it can take 48 hours for this to completely take effect.

Not a bad idea to reboot the PC too.

You could try ipconfic /flushdns too but I don't think it will make too much difference as the DNS will probably be on your router.

You could try rebooting that too.

This will make the difference try this and hopefully you website should appear.

You could also clear your browser cache (clear internet history)

Many thanks for all the advice and tips given. Just to let you all know the situation has been rectified.

I cleared my temporary internet files and rebooted the router and computers, and everything is now running smoothly.

Once again thank you.
