Some can see my website,others can’t me included.

Why is this?

We have a new site,professionally done,transfered from Squarespace to his server.

It’s really pissing me off!

How long ago was it moved?

"DNS propagation is the time frame it takes for DNS changes to be updated across the Internet. A change to a DNS record—for example, changing the IP address defined for a specific hostname—can take up to 72 hours to propagate worldwide, although it typically takes a few hours."

If possible could you give us even less information to work with…

I’m the monkey,you need to speak to the organ winder.
The web site bit is a minor buggeration compared to the Google account suspension.
We are looking into foul play from a competitor on that point but everything seems to take an age.

Is it https://www.suckitup.eu/ - from your profile?

If so it's working here. The TTL (time to live) on the domain is 3 hrs - this means each nameserver can hold onto the information for where your website is for 3 hours - you can't, with any absolute certainty, know when *everyone* will get sent to your new website, although I normally figure that if people are still being sent to the old one after more than twice the TTL (so 6 hours) then something is wrong.

You can, occasionally, get bad routing information which means that users of a single ISP can't reach your website but other people can (and if it's your ISP it can mean you can't get to your own website). This normally fixes itself after a day or so.

Is deleting your browser cache still a thing? Sorry, haven't done web development for 20 years.

You've moved the name servers as well changing the record.

This is fine but will cause poor access from low quart ISP's in the UK talk talk are especially poor at cacheing was beyond TTL.

There's nothing you can do, it'll sort itself out.
