I need to clear / flush the DNS cache

I am working on a website but moved hosting companies. The site is live however I can't view it on my iMac via Virgin Media but can view it on my mobile through 4G.

I have cleared the cache on the iMac and restarted but the problem remains. I need to work on the website and can't wait until tomorrow. 

So how do I clear / flush the Virgin Media DNS cache? (please explain simply....I am not a techie wizard like you). 

Many thanks, Chris

Use another DNS 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, 9.9.9.9

To answer the OP's question on Windows in the Run box or any CMD Prompt type window etc.

Sorry I misread it as you did so on Apple and wanted to know how to on PC.

CCleaner has a section for doing this on PC (may be same on MAC).
