so DNS changes are "instant" now - what about registering nameservers?
 

Does anyone know how long it takes for nameservers to be registered now? Does this new DNS rule make nameservers register faster than 1-7 business days?

That is actually a pretty damn good question.. bumb for you..

thanks for the bumb

Are you refering to A/MX/etc records?

Those typically depend on your provider making the change, net sol was taking ~15-20 minutes after i submited a change. If you control your own such as bind they will be instant.

If your refering to changing nameservers, those typically take 48-72 hours.

since when are nameserver changes instant? a couple days ago it took about 24 hours for a domain to redirect to a new nameserver..

changing DNS servers, depending on the TLD doesnt take 48 hours anymore

and no, i wasnt referring to A/MX records, i'm talking about registering nameservers

ex:
registering NS1.mydomain.com / NS2.mydomain.com

I love how NameCheap DNS changes are done within 30 minutes, it puts a HUGE smile on my face :)

same here, shit resolving minutes after the changes just makes me warm and fuzzy inside :thumbsup

I set up new nameservers about a week or so ago and everything was working within a couple hours. Was very surprised. It actually screwed up my schedule because I was planning to let the server sit for a day or so while everything went through. Didn't think I'd be able to work on it that soon.

It may have actually happened sooner than a couple hours, I just didn't check until then.

Namecheap has them done in a few mins - then if you use NameCheap to manage the domain DNS transfers as well it will be instant transfers.

I registered my new nameservers last month and it took about an hour to show up in the system

namecheap = enom, and Enom has always been good with updating their databases quickly
