    it takes 1 day to transfer to internic ..
    then usually your isp cache affects it..
    and then if you dont clear your browser cache that could affect it too

    so there are different factors involved

    your registrar dns -> internic dns-> isp cache -> browser cache

      First question..did you change the dns information both with the domain register and with you host/name server?

      If so, then some ISP's will pick up the change within 24 hours. Others could take 2 to 3 days.

      If you want to check and see if the new site is simply not resolving from your location, go to www.tracert.com. Pick a few locations and do a tracert on your domain name. You will be able to see if any of the locations are resolving to the new server. If after 48 hours, none of them are resolving to the new server..then you probably missed a step somewhere.

        It usually takes up to 48 hours.

          Try this (if you run Win2k/XP/ME)

          - Press "start"
          - "run"
          - Type "cmd" and press enter
          - type "ipconfig /flushdns" prese enter
          - open Your browser again and try the URL again
