Why can’t I see the changes I made to my website?

This may happen if your computer is looking in the wrong place to see your website. This can occur if:

  1. The domain has been moved to another server within the last 24 hours.
  2. The nameservers on the domain name have been changed within the last 72 hours.
  3. The domain name was registered less than 72 hours ago.

If this is the case you should wait for the allotted time before trying the site again. For piece of mind you can use the test domain link shown within your control panel. 

If you visit a website regularly your computer may store a saved copy of the website for you to view. This allows your computer to view the website from a local copy, speeding up the time it takes to display in your webbrowser.

Sometimes when you make a change to your website the changes will not appear instantly, as you are actually viewing a saved (cached) copy of your website. These cached copys will only be stored in your computer for a short time, so the changes to your website will usually be viewable after a few hours.
