There are two important steps to accessing a website: 1) name resolution of the domain name; and 2) routing to the IP address the domain name resolves to.
I recommend debugging each of these two steps separately as conflating them leads to confusion.
I suspect your issue will be 1). You can resolve the domain name on a system where the website works and try the IP address on the system where the website appears not to be accessible.

Thanks for that it seems like a step in the right direction to try, now the big question lol, how the hell do I go about doing that? You could say ‘I’m a bit fick!’ when it starts getting technical but I am good at following instructions.....I’m married! 😝

Do you know the IP addy of your site? Instead of typing the domain addy, www.itsupyoursleeve.com , into a browser, type that IP addy from the devices that are not working at present.

You may use nslookup under Windows to resolve a name. Under Linux, you may additionally use dig and may check various name servers.
It's worth googling DNS and name resolution, assuming name resolution is your issue.
Once you have the IP address, you can check the website works when accessed purely by IP.
