I see the old website from my IP

I moved my website to a new host and thought everything was fine, but it turned out not to be the case.
When accessing the site from my IP address, I can only see the old version of the site that's still on the old server. However, if I use an anonymizer or any other IP address, I'm able to see the updated version of the site on the new hosting. I'm not sure what the problem is - whether it's an issue with the old hosting, a delay in DNS updates from my ISP, or something else entirely.
 If anyone has experienced this before or knows the solution, please explain. It's been more than 24-48 hours since I moved the site to the new host.

I've encountered the same issue multiple times when transferring my site, where even though a day has passed and my internal statistics show visitors on the new server, I'm still seeing the old site.
The problem can usually be solved by updating the DNS or refreshing the browser cache by pressing F5. For example, I experienced this issue with Firefox - I left the browser and when I opened it again, I was able to see the new website.

You probably just saved your data in cache, try to clean it or update your software (start from updating dns as said upwards or maybe update all of your programmes)

To update the DNS server records for a PBX, follow these steps in the management console:

1. Go to Parameters >> Network and change the PBX to "Dynamic (changing) public IP address". Restart the PBX services.
2. Repeat step 1, but specify a "Static (immutable) public IP address" instead. After clicking OK, restart the PBX services.

The PBX will then send a request to the Google DNS servers (assuming 8.8.8.8 is set as your main DNS server), and the server data will update the DNS records. However, it may take up to an hour for the changes to take effect, especially if the PBX services are restarted for around 30 minutes.

One potential issue is that even after changing the records on the public DNS server, remote users such as 3CX clients or desktop phones may still have the old IP address cached from their local DNS. They will have to wait until the TTL expires to make a new request and correctly resolve the new IP address of the PBX.
