Is there a way to flush my DNS or whatever it's called?

I tried clicking refresh.

Run > cmd > ipconfig /flushdns

When you move your site, you should go and change the old dns zone to point to the new server.

Not really. That's usually cached on the sever side. You could try different DNS servers.

Verizon DNS servers:
4.2.2.2
4.2.2.3
4.2.2.4
4.2.2.5
4.2.2.6

I've used those from other locations before and had things working just fine.

If you run nslookup, you can make sure the new ip address has propagated:
nslookup
server 4.2.2.2
www.gotadeal.com

And make sure it replies with something like:
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.gotadeal.com
Address: 208.254.3.160

EDIT: Neat, didn't know about Run > cmd > ipconfig /flushdns Heh. Ignore me. :)

just look up the dns info on dnsstuff.com to see if it properly propagated.

as for dns ip's on your tcp/ip, i would recommend 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2

Your computer uses your isps dns servers by default, but it also stores a local dns cache. You can flush the local one, but you won't get anywhere if your isp hasen't updated their's yet.

I didn't even think about the local cache. Windows networking is just icky to me. :p

I go through cycles, it's a damn shame we lost the hot Asian chick avatar.

Red heads are hot, I think Nik would agree :)
