Update DNS faster!
Updating and refreshing the layers of DNS caching
Your ISP cache if you set your desktop to auto lookup DNS, it then defaults to your router or ISP DNS cache. It could be a whole day old! Drop it and tell your desktop to use Google DNS instead.

If your Desktop DNS still doesn't update - in Windows the default DNS cache update time is over 20 min... why wait?
Flushing your cache on Windows
Open command prompt and use this command; ipconfig /flushdns VOILA! Cleared!

Ok now your Browser!!! Now that the world, your ISP, your desktop are in sync... Why is my site STILL not coming up!!! Well... good old browser cache that once loaded the same site files elsewhere (old IP address) still may thinks its there. Delete entire browser cache or use another browser you normally don't use as a test.
