Website DNS issue from my machine only - dns

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.

Domain name forwarding works only partially

For many years I had a successful website at https://www.lunarium.co.uk built on top of Google App Engine, Java version. Some time ago, GAE deprecated the technology they initially recommended for storage, so I decided to re-create the site on a new, less cumbersome platform. Eventually, I re-created it with Django, hosted on Pythonanywhere.com at the domain name https://www.lunarium.co.
When the new version was ready, I've forwarded the domain name lunarium.co.uk (hosted with GoDaddy) to lunarium.co (301, no masking). I also changed the CNAME www on lunarium.co.uk to point to the naked domain name, lunarium.co.uk. This was done in the beginning of April, but the stats keep showing that many people are still going to the old version of the website. On some days, many more people visit the old website than the new one. This is one part of the problem — why is that happening? (Right now I've also added forwarding from www.lunarium.co.uk to www.lunarium.co but was unable to delete the www CNAME).
Also, I had some pages on the old website that were very popular. For example, this one: https://www.lunarium.co.uk/moonsign/calculator.jsp. I made sure that if someone will come looking for this page on the new website (like https://www.lunarium.co/moonsign/calculator.jsp) they would be redirected to the appropriate new page. However, when trying to navigate to that popular old page, I'm getting a strange error message: Not Found 404.0, and I'm not sure where this message is coming from.
Previously, when navigating to the home page of the old website, I used to be correctly redirected to the home page of the new website. (I just tried to do that, and it didn't work, but maybe that is a temporary glitch). However, specific pages within the website are never properly redirected. Is there a way to make sure that they are redirected?

Googlebot and Google Mobile bot Crawl Error after Domain IP and Domain DNS changed (Site not Reachable)

in past week I had to change my server to cloud (Digital Ocean Droplet), I am using a shared service but the concurrent user reached the number of Php execution (30). I shifted the entire site and site is up and running successfully, moreover Yandex and Bing are able to crawl my website but it is Google that I want.
I have got like 100K errors in console dashboard and raising, google ads bot isn't able to crawl my pages too. I have checked the following and there is no error in these.
.htaccess and redirections.
SSL
DNS records (I shifted name servers to DO and then back to registrar to see if the DNS was the error) but it doesn't seem like it is.
I double checked robots.txt it is fine by the google robots.txt validator and other search engines.
Similar setups are running on other servers with no changes at all the are fine.
UfW, I am new to it but due to its temporary nature I don't think it is the reason. I disabled it and checked it doesn't make difference.
I haven't blocked anything on apache so it should be good too.
The error that appears is attached at screenshots
Help me out as instead of scaling, I am going down bad.
I repointed the DNS through another service it took its time but it is resolved. I wasn't sure about the error, now I am, it is because of improper or partial DNS resolution issue.

Force.com attaches to web address

When I type a web address in my web browser, "force.com" or "salesforce.com" comes up in it. Here's an example: https://k12parentportal.force.com/portal_enrollmenthome>. Everything is correct except force.com being in it. I think the actual address is: https://K12parentportal/enrollmenthome>; but, it's happened so often that I can't type the real address. It happens in Internet Explorer and Firefox. I reset IE, but it keeps happening. This has been going on for several weeks. It will also redirect my browser to "salesforce.com". I had never been to your website until my browser was redirected. I ran malewarebtyes and HitmanPro Anti Malware to remove it, but it's still there. I have tried everything to remove it from my computer, but nothing works. Can you please help me with this? Thank you. Beverly `
This is a website for programmers, not a place to talk to Salesforce the company.
This is not a valid url because it is not a valid domain name: https://K12parentportal/enrollmenthome HINT, no .com
force.com is a business platform and is trustworthy. Google it.

Why is an external domain name displaying my localhost site?

I have a localhost set up on my Windows 7 computer for developing a website. When I accidentally spelled GoDaddy wrong and typed goodaddy.com into Chrome and hit enter it displayed my localhost site. It didn't redirect me. The address bar still said goodaddy.com. When I viewed the source of the page it was just the source of my localhost site but the address bar still displayed view-source:goodaddy.com
I tried ctrl+f5 to refresh it, I also tried navigating to goodaddy.com on a private browsing window in Chrome and it still displayed my localhost site. Then I tried it in Firefox and Safari, and they are also displaying the localhost site while keeping goodaddy.com in the address bar.
According to WhoIs information this is a registered domain name. And when I navigate to it from a different computer it just says 'Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to goodaddy.com'
So why are all the browsers on my computer treating this domain a if it was localhost instead of a domain that it cannot connect to like it is? I don't understand at all.
Edit: Also if I typed a nonsensical domain that definitely does not exist (example: jkdkfs.com) Chrome properly just says 'Oop! Google Chrome could not connect to jkdkfs.com' instead of showing me my localhost site. How did this one domain get mapped to my localhost site across all browsers?!
I get the same thing. The domain appears to be registered by Moniker DNS (www.moniker.com) to go to 127.0.0.1. See there - http://whoisrequest.org/whois/goodaddy.com
Why? Who knows :)
Other SO thread(s) on the subject - .com domain registered to 127.0.0.1

After moving server and IP, stylesheets and other resources not found (404 errors in fiddler)

I have moved an Orchard CMS site from one host and server to another host and server. The IP address is obviously different.
All the files have been correctly copied and the correct html is rendered.
However, all the styles sheets produce a 404 error. I repeat that the files are where they should be.
Indeed, any other resource, such as images or stylesheets produce the same problem. Again, the files are all in place.
Can anyone think what could be causing this. Nothing has changed other than the server and IP.
I have another orchard site on the same IP and server that is working fine. However, it was not moved from a different server.
I ping for the site and it comes up with the correct IP address for the new server
EDIT:
Not sure that this is Orchard specific, although something related to Orchard's themes and how they work could be to blame... But I really can't see what.
It sounds much more like an IIS issue.
Can you get the CSS files, by entering their URLs into the browser address-bar directly?
Try "Copy image location" or from the Image Properties, of one of the failed images. Again, can you get this if you enter it direct into the browser?
Check the URL of failed resources, against the URL of working HTML resources or dynamic pages. make sure there are no differences in webapp path or context..
You'll also need to try Ctrl-R reloading.
There could also possibly be some caching in the way.. that might be holding the "404" or "not found" results, even after the content has moved. Try & shutdown/ or force refresh all server & proxy caches.
The server people got back to me. They changed the "website to 4.0 Integrated Pipeline mode." and all now works. Go figure.
I am sure I had checked that it was in Integrated Pipeline mode, but hey ho.
