Old website appearing after changing host

I changed host from Fat Cow to Wix. Cleared cache in Chrome (More--> Settings), Safari. (Developer--> Clean Cache) Deleted preferences in Library, Clean install of Chrome. Emptied trash Rebooted. Still shows old site. Downloaded new (never used on this iMac) Firefox and new site appears. Obviously this is something in my caches, but I can't figure out clean them better than I have Running Catalina 10.15.5 (19F101). Older model iMac (circa 2014). Not my MBP. I developed in the older iMacThanks.

MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.15

Hi AAck,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you’re having trouble with a website in Safari and Chrome. We’re happy to help.

To start, try deleting website data and history for Safari:

Clear your browsing history in Safari on Mac - Apple Support

Manage cookies and website data in Safari on Mac - Apple Support

You may also want to boot into safe mode and then restart as normal. Safe mode clears some system caches, which may help:

Should the issue persist with Chrome, try deleting and reinstalling the browser.

Take care.

Ended up being DNS settings that needed time to reset (I think). The next day the correct website I had been working on appeared when I refreshed Safari/Chrome (my testing browsers)
