Can I ask for more tech help? The DNS issue from the other day. My new site if you use www doesn't work, still shows the parked page.

If you don't use the www it DOES work. What am I doing wrong if anything?

Responses:

if you ping both variations of the domain name, do they resolve to different IP addresses? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 15:53 15
- I'm not sure how to do that. :( -- nm - Qale Mar 1, 15:53 14
  - open a command line (start, run, cmd) type ping [domainname.com] without square brackets - Beryllium Mar 1, 15:58 12
    - They *are* different. -- nm - Qale Mar 1, 15:59 11
      - could mean that your ISP's domain name services haven't updated yet -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 16:00 10
        
        Goddamn godaddy. They're finally giving me the annoyance they've given others I guess. -- nm - Qale Mar 1, 16:01 8
        
        I think I had this issue when I was trying to forward my BartramRelay.com address. I think I had to do a ctrl+F5 and it resolved. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 1, 16:05 1
        
        Hard refresh sadly was the first thing I tried. - Qale Mar 1, 16:08
        
        I doubt Godaddy is the company that provides your personal internet. But if their DNS servers have a super-long TTL, it could totally explain it. - Beryllium Mar 1, 16:04 5
        
        Oh so you're saying that it's the ISP that's causing the trouble, not the hosting company. (Can I still goddam godaddy cause they ARE being annoying) -- nm - Qale Mar 1, 16:07 4
        
        and that I'm probably still okay, it's just going to take longer. -- nm - Qale Mar 1, 16:08 3
        
        yeah - I'd say stick to using the working version for the time being, and ignore the broken one for a few hours, and it might be enough to fix it. - Beryllium Mar 1, 16:10 2
        
        Woohoo! I get to keep blaming Godaddy! (spoiler) - Qale Mar 1, 16:15
        
        the specific tool to use is "DNS Records" -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 16:11
        
        (In order to make more efficient usage of resources, they cache some domain lookups for hours or days ...) - Beryllium Mar 1, 16:01
  - I went to this site and used both www and without variations and got the same IP address. Is that what you mean? -- (link) - Qale Mar 1, 15:57
