You have told me to "clear my dns cache" on my computer. What does this mean?
There has probably been some change to your domain name records and you are looking at an old version of your site or it looks like your domain is not working.
This occurs in the following situation
1. When a web site is moved from one server to another
2. If your domain name has expired and has just been renewed
3. Your ISP is caching pages to save money.
The internet is a complicated network of servers all interconnected to each other, each one holding different types of information about addresses on the internet. Sometimes when a change is made on a dns server, the change is not filtered down to your local computer automatically, so the effect is that your computer looks in the wrong place resulting in confusion.
