How long does DNS propagation take? Print

  • 2

DNS propagation is the process by which updated DNS records are distributed across DNS resolvers and networks worldwide.

In many cases, DNS changes begin to appear within a few minutes or a few hours. However, full propagation can sometimes take up to 24–48 hours depending on the DNS record type, previous TTL values, caching and the resolver being used.

During this period, different users may temporarily see different results. For example, some visitors may reach the new server while others are still directed to the previous destination.

If you recently changed nameservers, A records, MX records or other DNS settings, we recommend allowing sufficient time for cached records to expire before assuming there is a configuration problem.

If the expected DNS changes are still not visible after the normal propagation period, please review the DNS configuration or contact our support team for assistance.
