    Hi all,

    i have a bit uneasy problem with my site. Almost once a day, i can't connect (even i can't upload my files)

    So i asked my host service why it happens and they told that:


    "The ipconfig /flushdns removes your ISP cache. Your ISP was routing your connections to a wrong ip, than to the correct, which caused this issue."


    So what i should do solve this problem? Thanks so much.

    Sounds like you isp is not caching the results properly. I would suggest you use the OpenDNS.com dns servers, as they are usually quicker that your local ISP cache, and they update very quickly:

    http://www.opendns.com/

    These are the IPs for the dns servers:

    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220

    It's better to use windows host file to map your web site to particular IP address. Open the file C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts in notepad and add the following entry at the end of file:

    1.2.3.4 yourwebsite.com

    Replace 1.2.3.4 IP with your site IP address and save this file.
