What is DNS propagation?
May 16, 2009 – 19:06 by Support Staff
Propagation is the process by which name servers are made aware of the changes that you make to your domain name with your registrar (the company you purchased your domain name with). This process can take between 24 and 72 hours.
Why does this process take so long?
DNS propagation takes a bit of time because the "synchronization" is happening amongst hundreds of thousands of servers. The process may seem to take too long but it is happening quite rapidly on a pretty large scale.
Please know that this is under the control of the registry, and DS-Hosting Solutions does not have any abilities to make this happen faster.
However, eNom has developed a revolutionary way to update DNS settings. This allows the user to make DNS changes that will apply within approximately 4 seconds.
Compare that to the "12 to 24 hours" needed for most domain registrars or the "several days" by some ISP’s.
And since DS-Hosting Solutions has partnered with one of the worlds biggest registrar, eNom, you will make advantage of these Real-time DNS updates if we register your domain name
