Need desperate help with website

    I'm extremely aggravated right now, and don't really know why. I was planning to spend this morning working on a blog, but when I go to the address of the blog (gamingnewsflash.com), it says Internet Explorer can't display the webpage, and in Firefox I get a server not found.

    However, when I view the site in ANY proxy, it shows up just fine. And I know it's not a cache because I switched hosts yesterday (and this was happpening when I was with the other host) and reinstalled Wordpress. Could you guys tell me what you see when you go to http://www.gamingnewsflash.com/?

    And what could I do to stop/help this problem? It's really annoying, and I don't think it's a hosting problem, but tell me if you think so. Thanks for your help.

    Not a hosting problem - probably your ISP DNS servers havent updated

    wait a couple of hours and try again

    Okay, but I've waited over 12 hours. Maybe I should wait another 12?

    edit: 200th post! Okay, I'm somewhat happy now.

    It might be the problem with your server

    I just read the thread and it looks like you have to wait for DNS servers to update this take 24-48 hours

    shows up for me - I agree with rhys above and the others that it is your ISP DNS.

    Stupid question, but what is that/how can I fix it? Every other site on the internet that I've been on works no problem. I guess I'll just wait it out some more.

    Try flushing the dns on your PC with this command
    ipconfig /flushdns

    EDIT: Apparently it is possible to update your DNS. I didn't know it was. ;)

    In windows, Start->Run , Enter the Command "ping gamingnewsflash.com -t" You should see something like this:

    [​IMG]

    If you donot see a result, the problem is with your host.
