[NFBCS] Website and browser question

You may want to try and clear the chrome dns caching mechanism.

 

 

I read about this feature a few years back when I was searching for hosting.

 

Here is a link a found:

My google search was "chrome settings clear dns caching"

 

Worldwide chaching is done regional in order to get fast dns resolution.

 

I hope this helps..

If I go to knitpicks.com using Firefox, it loads just fine, but, if I go to
the same site using Chrome, it gives me a network error and tells me to
check the spelling. And, if I put knitpicks into Google search and click on
an ad, I get a network error again.

Why?  I thought Chrome and Firefox use the same underlying engine, so why do
I get such different results?

Just curious.
