I have just set up a new website with Wordpress.org, and pointed the DNS to the server
The DNS seems to have propagated everywhere, except on PlusNet, so I can currently only see the old holding page.
I can get the new page fine from my mobile on mobile data, but as soon as I use a wired or Wifi connection through PN, it takes me back to the old page.
I'm keen to get the site live ASAP and this is holding me up. Is there a way to get PN to purge their caching of the site?
Site is lustleighorchardpreschool.co.uk
Thanks

Technically - yes, realistically - no

There would need to be a very good reason for us to do it outside of the DNS automation that's in place, and unfortunately your situation doesn't really meet that requirement.
If you're just wanting to start work on the site, then you could add the following entry to your hosts file to bypass DNS?
85.92.91.10 lustleighorchardpreschool.co.uk
It's odd that everywhere else I check though, returns the correct results. When exactly did you make the DNS changes?

A little before 9 this morning. I appreciate that it can take 48 hours to replicate everywhere, but in practice, it isn't usually that long, and everyone else seems to have picked up the change.
How often does the automation run?

You'd typically need to wait for an overnight refresh our side. That's when most of the DNS scripts run.

Have you started your text editor (eg notepad) with "run as administrator" ?

Are you sure it's not your local DNS? - IE on your router or PC..
I need a new signature... i'm bored of the old one!
