Hello everyone, I hope you are well.
I have a problem that I honestly can't solve.
I have a website running XenForo 2.3.7 on Hostinger's shared hosting. I also bought a VPS from the same company and moved a backup of my site and the database to the new server. I left the old site with its domain on the old hosting, because if I move the domain to the new server, I have to delete the old site completely. I don't want to do this because I don't want to lose my old site if the new copy doesn't work.

Now, the problem is that after I installed the backup on the VPS, when I go to the new link, it redirects me to the original domain on the old hosting.
I tried to change the site URL in phpMyAdmin, specifically the boardUrl in the xf_option table, but there is no text there for me to edit. I also used ChatGPT to get some SSH commands to fix this, and I ran them, but they didn't work either.
The new site on the VPS should be at this URL: xxxx, but when I click it, it redirects me to the old domain.
I hope I explained that clearly. What do you think?
Thank you.

Sounds like a DNS/Hostinger problem rather than xenforo.

Try it in incognito tab, also try with your phone (mobile data, not wifi)
