Weird caching issue

I don't know if this is the right place for this, if not, please suggest where to post it.

I have a standard apache/unix server running cPanel 11, where I put all my php based sites. But whenever I make any changes to the files here, the changes don't seem to reflect in the browser immediately. The pages seem to fetch cached or old copies, till I hit Ctrl+f5(force refresh) on my browser. I tried creating an htaccess to disable any potential caching with:

<FilesMatch "\.(html|htm|js|css)$">
FileETag None
<ifModule mod_headers.c>
Header unset ETag
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"
Header set Pragma "no-cache"
Header set Expires "Wed, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT"
</ifModule>
</FilesMatch>

but the problem still persists. Can anyone please suggest how to debug or solve this situation?

PS: I have tried contacting the hosting provider but they couldn't find anything wrong with server settings(or at least that's what they claimed).
