You can't find me!

After finishing a clients brand spankin new website and uploading to the servers there was a major issue. Pages where not being displayed properly and it seems that the pages where be built from include files that did not appear on the server anymore.

Hmm. strange. Updates the server with the new files, verified the content of the new files, but the website was still using the content from the old files. I then added some code to prevent the caching of ASP pages and still nothing.

Come to find out that the web host Interland has some issues where they cache ASP pages.
From Interland:
"All servers are set to Cache ASP pages. Because ASP uses alot of system resources, and you are in a shared enviorment the option to set Cache on the server is needed."

The only good to come out of this is I called Interland and got through to their tech support fairly quick and within 3min they resolved the issue.

Unacceptable to have a page cached on the server in excess of 48 hours and I will never use or recommend Interland to clients.
