That could be DNS propagation check this . You can ask your hosting about it as well to find out what is going on exactly.

If you're still having troubles with this, I suggest adding "www" as a subdomain for your website.

I'm guessing that will fix your issue, though you may have to give some time for it to take effect.

Please let us know if you solve this issue :)
