    Is It The Browser Or Something Else?

    I need help because something strange is happening.

    Recently I was asked to manage a website by a friend because he was not happy with the guy who was managing it. He got a new hosting service and asked the guy to change the nemeservers to the new hosting service which he did. Then I uploaded the index file with:

    This Site Is Currently Undergoing Maintenance!
    Should Be Up And Running In A Couple Of Hours
    Sorry For The Inconvenience


    Now the problem is that I keep seeing the bluehost splash screen that the site is parked but my friends see the maintenance notification. I went to another computer and saw the maintenance notification but coming back to my computer, the bluehost splash screen still shows up.

    I cleared the cookies and the cache, switched from firefox to internet explorer but the same thing happens. This is strange.

    Has anybody experienced such things? Please I need help.

    Thanks.

    Try viewing from a proxy server like Proxify. If you can see the maintenance page then your ISP is caching the net.

    I think you are right. Every of my friends on the same ISP are seeing the Bluehost splash screen. I tried a proxy and saw the maintenance page. I called up my ISP and they say their technical team will be seeing to the issue. I will wait and come back to give the feedback. Thanks a lot and I appreciate it.

    Both local ISPs do this to conserve resources. So yes it is kind of a ISP server issue but not the kind of issue I assume you were implying with your reply.

    Thanks HTMLBasicTutor, The issue has been resolved. It was the cache of my local ISP and their engineers have taken care of the problem. It is a site where I wanted to migrate a wordpress powered site.

    Thank you all for your unselfish contributions.
