Frequently Asked Questions

How long does DNS propagation take?

DNS propagation typically takes 24-48 hours globally, but can take up to 72 hours. The actual time depends on TTL values, ISP caching, and the type of DNS change made.

Why do different locations show different DNS results?

DNS servers worldwide cache records based on TTL values. When you update DNS, servers with cached old records continue serving them until the cache expires, causing inconsistent results across locations.

How can I speed up DNS propagation?

Lower your TTL value to 300 seconds (5 minutes) before making changes. After propagation completes, raise the TTL back. Note that some ISPs ignore low TTLs and cache longer regardless.
