browser - Cleared all of my cache but still seeing old website

I have a website setup on a free host called 00webhost. i was previously using a free web host called wink.s. i have a .com domain purchased from 1and1. i had wink.ws's dns servers pointed to the domain (my .com). 2 days ago i changed the .coms dns's to the 000webhosts dns's. for some reason, i still keep seeing the wink.ws one even though my domain isnt pointed to their dns servers. the thing is, everyone else who accesses the domain can see the new website host (000webhost). so i figured it was a cache problem. i cleared all my browser cache, ran ccleaner, and flushed dns in cmd prompt, restarted computer, and still cant get to the new website, it keeps taking me to the old one. im honestly out of ideas on what to do. any help would be great. thanks!

It may be that the DNS changes haven't yet propagated to the DNS server you are using.
You can try using a different DNS server temporarily until the changes have spread everywhere.
To do this:
- Go to Network Connections in the Control Panel
- Double click on the connection that is being used
- Click Properties
- Double click Internet Protocol Version 4
- Set the new server addresses:
The one I have set in my example is one of Google's DNS servers - 8.8.8.8.

Your browser may no longer be caching the old site, but there could be multiple servers between you and the wider web that are erroneously caching the site.
What IP address to you get if you use PING or NSLOOKUP on that domain name? Old or new?
If you want to cheat and avoid (rather than solve) the problem, you can add an entry to your hosts file, which will force your PC to go to the new server.

I was having a problem with missing fonts in Flash CS4, so I cleaned the font caches using the following commands in Terminal:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
atsutil server -shutdown
atsutil server -ping
These commands ran fine, so I restarted and opened my Flash file. Now suddenly Verdana is missing in Flash which was previously there.
- I ran FontNuke, and cleaned caches, and rebooted. Still nothing showed in Flash.
- I ran Cocktail, and cleaned just the font caches (all users on system), still nothing in Flash.
- I reinstalled Flash (didn't work)
- I then uninstalled Flash, rebooted and installed Flash, rebooted. (didn't work)
After all this, Verdana still doesn't load in Flash. I validated all fonts in Font Book and removed the erroneous fonts.
Is there any other way I can have all the fonts load in Flash (eliminate another cache I am not seeing)? I am so sick of Flash and its font caches and Verdana is pretty much a standard font so what am I doing wrong here?

This is where the answer lies: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2558650#2558650
It is a nuisance doing it this way, but it was the ONLY method that worked for me.
- Firstly, close Flash.
- Move all fonts from /Library/Fonts & ~/Library/Fonts to a folder on your desktop.
- Start up Flash again, try opening the file which uses the missing fonts. (You should get the Font Replacement dialog now), click Cancel.
- Quit Flash.
- Move the .ttf/.otf files of the missing fonts (missing in Flash) back to /Library/Fonts, but only them, not the rest.
- Start Flash up again with the .fla in question, your fonts should all be found now and render.
- Quit Flash, move the rest of the font files back to /Library/Fonts (did not test it with User fonts i.e. ~/Library/Fonts, I suppose it would be just same copying them back to ~/Library/Fonts)
- Open Flash again and all missing fonts should now be visible in Flash.
This is the ONLY method that worked for me!

Have you tried the steps specified by Adobe?

After 4 font management applications (trying to clear system and Adobe font caches), it was fixed. I tried:
- FontNuke
- Font Finagler
- Cocktail
- FontExplorer Pro
Finally, FontExplorer Pro was the one that came through for me.
Conclusion: I hate Flash
