and then, after hitting enter, note down the IP address.

Now repeat, with www.domainname.com instead, and see if the IP address is different.

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
