How long does it take for dns propogation?
 

How long does it take for you?

That's not professional.

At least you edited it.

nice save on the edit

your a hosting company and you don't know the relative answer to this question? :1orglaugh
God damn fly by night hosting companies with co located servers

uh oh :1orglaugh

it all depends
what hosting company you with?

with?
HE ADVERTISES HE OWNS THE HOSTING COMPANY! :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Can someone say reseller? possibly FoundryNap?

i needed something to bump the thread

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

what was it before he edited?

You another fly by night hosting company too? :winkwink:

takes me 2-24 hours

30 seconds :error !

MrC:

Why is he a fly-by-night hosting company? Because he posted a question?

That's an interesting theory.... moron.

I've had a new site of my own (not CE) where I registered the domain, emailed phatservers to add the site. Within 20 minutes from registering the domain, my site was live.

If you are talking about changing DNS on an existing site, that's another story.

lol, I'm the idiot add 2 and 2 together the thread title implies hes asking to find out then you look at the post and it implies hes asking other people but if you look further its edited? mmm? Yet he owns a hosting company and doesn't know this simple god damn question? So I'm a idiot eh?

i just change dns and let it sit for one or two days and go back to check on the status of it all.

Learn how to write a sentence properly you fucking idiot.

He asked a question -- get over it.

I personally take offense to you bashing him. I have 2 dedicated servers there they are far from fly-by-night.

Let me buy you a shared hosting account with them and then draw an opinion, until then put a sock in it.

usually 15 minutes-20 hours

fastest ive noticed personally is a couple of minutes.

I've had them change in just a few minutes, but the last one I did (about a month ago) took 2 days. That's with Webair hosting and Directnic registar.

New domains I have had up in minutes. Change in DNS as little as a few hours to 2 days.

about 15 minutes

from 15 minutes to 24 hours.

thanks

What did it say before the edit LOL.

my DNS changes 15 minutes BEFORE I change it ....

at least they have a catchy name :1orglaugh

Lmaooooooooooooooo

10mins to 24 hours

24 hours at max.

mine never take more than 12 hours most within the hour these days

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Same here, sometimes really fast and sometimes two whole freaking days! :helpme

the question isnt really about how long propogation takes. The issue is that when you change hosts or name servers you should go offline if your new host has you setup because it goes to the old host. So when a host tells you it hasnt propegated yet and your site is offline its because they havent set you up yet. I think this is the point of the thread for all you newbies. Dont be suckered by a host who tells you that it hasnt propegated yet, if its still exists at the old host then your site should still be online.

well, there are actually 2 answers to this, but surprising that a colleague of sorts is asking this. If you are only making a record change on dns servers it can be like 20 minutes.maybe a few hours. This means that domain .com has its dns on ns1.isp.com and the isp.com admin is changing www.domain.com from 10.x.x.2 to 192.168.x.2 ( iknow these are all fake ip's or for internal use). BUT if you are moving your domain records to a new dns server such as where domain .com has its dns on ns1.isp.com and is moving it to ns1.isp2.com, that can take a while.still see it take 2 days. As an ISP guy I like to have the dns records for my clients, but I will tell youthe truth, keep your dns records where only you control them. if you don't know dns, then ask and learn. I still do a lot of registry at register.com. expensive, yes, but you can do your own dns there. otherwise i am usin ultra dns a lot lately and have my big multi domain clients there too. that way i am never more than 20 minutes or so from a domain change.

I am curious what his orginal post was........

foundrynap became idealbandwidth iirc

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

15 minutes to 48 hours.

Was going to say that...

What a joke lol :Oh crap

We know the answer to the question.... Just needed some unbiased opinions for a newbie who was unsure of the time needed for domain propogation after transfering his domain to us. He is new to the game and thought 24-48 was too long and that we were doing something "fishy" to his account.

Thanks for the answers guys, you helped answer his question!
