I'm not really sure how they did this. I transfered my domain from a previous host to joker.com and further to hostgator.com. Now the domain is transfered, but when I try to access it, I get redirected to the previous host's error message that this domain is suspended. My friends see the right site. (http://www.fieldspanieli.com) We've got two computers at home, with different IP's, neither one of them can access the site.

The domain information on Whois is accurate, and the name servers are pointing to hostgator. I can't think of anything other than the previous host having set some sort of a spyware or cookie set up here...

I hope someone can help, and if not, at least you know not to take a plan from them. I was somewhat suspicious of them from the start, but decided to take the risk. You live and you learn.

Your site loaded fine for me with the hostgator logo at the bottom.

Empty the cache (temporary internet files) on you local computers.

How long ago did you transfer the domain? It takes a while sometimes for your ISP to be notified about the change.

If it was transfered recently there may be some DNS servers using the new address, some using the old.
You will have to wait untill all (i think 13) main DNS server have updated,.

No, you just have to wait until your ISP's DNS is updated.

Ultimatelly you will be waiting for your ISP DNS to update, as that is the one you are using. But that wont update untill the others have.

Yes, the point was, that the dns-servers were updated and everyone ELSE saw the right site (with the host gator on bottom). It was just me who couldn't load the website and I ended up on their website instead.

However it is solved now.

Glad it's working for you now, Sebastyne.

The DNS server that they were querying may have had the updated IP of the site, But yours may not.
The first few days of a transfer can be sparadic.

Yes, they can be, but after numerous domain purchases and transfers, nothing like this has happened to me. (Only this month I've transfered 3 domains, each on different host.) I have another domain still with them, interesting to see how that transfer goes.

I believe it takes at most 72 hours for a new DNS record to propogate around the world. So, when you change a DNS record, within 3 day everyone should be able to visit the site's new location.

Yes, internic needs 12-72 hours to update all new NS server in their database.
