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.

TTL, if I recall correctly, tells the caching software how long to wait before considering the data "invalid"; most servers these days use 3600 seconds (one hour), and this is set by the host of the DNS for the domain. Sometimes, those hosts go with the old default of 24 to 48 hours.

The one I mentioned, your ISP's caching (be it Comcast or TW or whoever), could also be complicating things.

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
