    Your ISP hasn't updated servers yet. The DNS they provide is probably slow to update.

    You have 2 options.

    1) Wait till your ISP updates, which might be daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly

    2) Change your DNS to something like openDNS or GoogleDNS (I perfer google) here: http://code.google.c...docs/using.html

    That will use a different DNS system. Then simply restart, or disable/re-enable your internet connection and boom you can visit it. The main problem is I'm with a domain company that doesn't have as much strength as name.com, however I can't switch back to name.com for another few days since I failed verification of my email.

    Once I get back to name.com, all reported problems with the DNS will resolve.

    Till I learned about the DNS and how easy it is to resolve the issue by switching DNS providers.
