Hi all me again need more help

I've just regged an expired domain and added it to domain manage, I've changed the nameservers but it's still goes to someone else sedo parking page, I'm guessing it was the previous owner. This is happening with a few domains lately. How do I go about getting them changed?

Thanks in advance. Hope your all enjoying your weekend.
 
Probably slow DNS updates, check the nameservers have actually changed and then leave it until Morning, should update by then.

You can also check with this tool to see nameservers changing around the world : https://www.whatsmydns.net/

Just type the domain and select "NS"

If the nameservers have changed according the above tool, but you still see the old landing page, its probably localised DNS cache. You can flush it by going to your CMD console on windows ( if you don't know how simply Google "flush DNS" for more elaborate guide ) and typing :
HTML:
ipconfig /flushdns

Plus clearing your browser cache and cookies.

Note flushDNS works sometimes, sometimes it stops at your machine rather than your router. But if it doesnt work....like above, wait 24 hours and it will do it automatically.

Perfect, thanks for all the Info mate. Will give that a go and hopefully it sorts out.

Thanks again
