When a domain name changes nameservers...

[BigToque]

I just changed my domain name to use different nameservers. It can take up to 24 hours while the databases get updated.

Is it possible that when some of the nameservers are updated that some people will be able to access my site, even if not all are updated? I updated the NS's about 20 hours ago and I can't access my site but will anyone else be able to?

yes, it updates at different times over the net. or at least that has been my experience

 

[cronos]

yes.

 

[GeekDrew]

yep. that's common - especially if it's a popular site and is cached.

Make sure to check with www.dnsreport.com to see if they have been set correctly 🙂

Yes usually IP/~username

Domain propagation lately takes me anywhere from 20 mins - 2 hours using NameCheap.com

It's been about 23 hours now I guess. *sigh* Why do yours get done so quickly?

It's not like I've got anything important on my site, but still...

Make sure you set them up correctly using www.dnsreport.com. If they show up correctly on that site, then it's just a matter of time
