Also this worked for me: Open the Terminal (either from a menu or an icon or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T), and type:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
in the terminal.
It cleared my DNS cache, so I could see the WWW page I had been working on with the DNS name I had allocated it. The DNS allocation was done remotely via the Web hosting service. The sudo command via the Terminal asked for the password, and it was my normal user's password since I used sudo.
I am using MX Linux 19.1_x64 patito feo and it supports and includes both systemd and init-V functionality and kernels. It is based on Debian GNU/Linux buster 10 stable, and is a desktop distribution called MX Linux 19.1 "patito feo". That is why I can use the command "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" without problems in it.
