When you update DNS records, the changes do not appear instantly everywhere on the internet.

This process is called DNS propagation.

Typical propagation time

DNS updates can take anywhere from:

a few minutes to 24 hours

Most updates are complete much sooner.

During propagation

While propagation is occurring:

• your domain may work in some locations
• it may still show the old site in others

This is normal and temporary.

Check propagation

You can check DNS updates using online DNS checker tools.
