Question

I’ve created a new website on m6.net hosting using fasthosts in the UK. When I try and load the website from my laptop I get a fasthosts landing page.

If I access the website from another machine it seems to work fine – http://www.validdomainauctions.com.

This would suggest it’s not an issue with hosting, but I’m not sure why the domain redirects to a page on domain-holding.co.uk which states the following:

This “website holding” page is displayed when you visit
validdomainauctions.com because the owner has registered the domain
name (or set up a sub-domain), but has not yet created a website.

Without this page, website visitors would see a “Page not found”
error. The holding page confirms that the domain’s DNS has been set up
correctly.

I’ve tried loading the website with Chrome, IE, and Mozilla, and the issue is the same with all of them, so it can’t be the browser. I’ve tried clearing cache etc and that hasn’t resolved anything.

I’ve called ipconfig /flushdns which hasn’t helped either.

After a week of being utterly baffled it would seem the issue has rectified itself. Happy days.
