I just spun up a new VPS, set it up with a fresh and clean LAMP stack and pointed my domain to it.
I waited a few hours and tried it and it was still my old website. For a laugh, I logged into my shared FTP that it was pointing to before and added some text to the index file to see if it would update, it did.
I went to another computer in the house, in this case a laptop, and went to the domain. It was updated to the VPS (I got the "It works!" screen). I then tried my phone, it too had already updated.
At this point, I did the following:
- Cleared host file of Search and Destroy things (I had meant to do this earlier)
- Ran CCleaner and got rid of all Firefox internet cache
- Ran
ipconfig /flushdns
in console both under admin and regular user - Deleted all browser cache via in-application tool in Firefox
- Refreshed page using
ctrl
+f5
. - Disabled and re-enabled network adapter via sharing center.
- Rebooted computer
I'm at a dead end. My computer has NEVER been this stubborn.
Can anyone help me out with getting it to update, seeing as other computers in the house already have?
EDIT I pinged domain and received:

The IP it's saying it received is dead wrong. The IP should be: expunged
Are all devices using the same DNS server? sometimes DNS servers outside the LAN can take 72 hours to update. – Ben Plont – 2013-10-19T04:41:07.420
Problem Solved
As Ben Plont commented, the troublesome computer was on OpenDNS. I took it off and removed the static IP I had set up (for which I have no idea) and then disabled/enabled adapter and it works.
Thanks, Ben! – jdersen – 2013-10-19T04:44:29.483
@Ramhound Just a question, I edited the answer. Is that how a good answer should look? – jdersen – 2013-10-19T06:11:34.900
