    One of the most bizarre things I've seen while building a webpage

    Hello,

    Last night, I forwarded my url to my Hosting account and began building a webpage. This morning I woke up early to continue working on it. After about an hour and a half, I had to go to work. I went into work to see how the website looks on a PC, and I have a parked page. I called my wife to ask her to go to the site and she got the same thing too. I called GoDaddy and they said, this happens from time to time, especially if I'm at work on a network. (which I am) Now I'm at another computer at work and now the site works! I called my wife again and she told me nothing has changed on her end.

    Is this normal? Have you had this happen before? I am completely baffled by this. Plus I'm a bit worried too. I built the webpage to make a good first impression for google. I guess I'm glad that I haven't submitted it yet. I don't want them to show up to a parked page.

    You have to give it a couple days for everything to catch up on the servers/dns end. This is normal.

    Try this on a windows machine
    type this in to a dos window or command prompt

    ipconfig /flushdns

    this will clear your DNS cashe that is causing the problem

    the best way to check.. is use go to a proxy site and view your site.

    any nameserver changes should only take 15 minutes to propagate
