Other people cannot access my website.

Hi x10hosting,

I just started hosting a website but seems like other people cannot access my website and others can. Is it a problem with the DNS? I need help. Let me know if you need more details to fix this.

Newly added domains can take up to 72 hours to become fully available globally, usually it is within a few hours though.

Local DNS cache can prevent them from seeing it if they visited too soon as their DNS cache, which is is the primary lookup for domains previously visited, would show that the domain does not exist until their cache is refreshed.

Clearing local DNS cache can speed it up, assuming their ISP does have the updated information at their end (it's a trail of information between various servers from our name servers down to the end user).

Big help, Anna. Therefore, I'll have them clear caches from time to time until they will see the website. Thanks much!
