: DNS taking weeks to propagate just in my area It has been over two weeks since I changed over my DNS information on my new host. I still have my old hosting account setup through HostGator
It has been over two weeks since I changed over my DNS information on my new host. I still have my old hosting account setup through HostGator and it is still using the HostGator nameservers in my area.
I have checked with DNS tools and it is showing that in every other area it is using the new DNS info.
I have done an NS Lookup and it is still showing HostGator nameservers, so my browser is ruled out. I have flushed my DNS on my computer and restarted it, so that is ruled out. I have restarted my router and modem, but still have the same results.
Now one would think that it is just my ISP, although here is the thing...I have attempted to go to the domain on two of my mobile devices, both using different mobile networks, with WiFi turned off and STILL got the same nameservers and the old page on the site. If that isn't enough I tried at the office which again uses a different ISP and low and behold, it is still using the old DNS info.
My new host and all the DNS proxy tools confirmed everything is as it should be and pointed to the new nameservers.
So why is this happening only in my area? Is there anything I can do about this? I am losing valuable time waiting for what seems like eternity; it will be 2.5 weeks tomorrow.

It's weird to have such a long propagation delay. Most probably there is a problem with it! Anyways, first run the command
nslookup <yourdomain.com> <dns-server-ip>
on your PC with different dns servers like
nslookup yourdomain.com 4.2.2.4
nslookup yourdomain.com 8.8.8.8
for Google and Public DNS servers, and you may like to check dns.yandex.com/ for more tests. Don't forget to check it with your area DNS servers, too.
If you get the old information from any of the tests, you have to report it to your hosting provider. For example if all nslookups show new information, but your own ISP don't, provide all the details to your hosting provider, so that they can fix it sooner.
Once I had such a problem and it was because of a wrong firewall rule on the authorative DNS server which was blocking some other DNS servers!
