What is DNS propagation? Print

  • 3

For your domain name to point to your website on our servers you must change the nameservers. The V7 nameservers are included in your welcome email after your account is set up.

'DNS propagation' is a term to describe the updating of information across the Internet.

Customers often contact us to say that they can't see their domain names straight after ordering them, or just after a transfer between providers. After either of these two events your domain name/website may not be visible for up to 48 hours, mainly because millions of DNS servers need to be updated with the new information.

Once propagation is over, your site will be appearing on our server and your email will be fully functional. There is no real way of seeing when propagation has completed. During the first 48 hours, even if you see your site on the new server, it doesn't mean propagation is over and everyone can see your site as well.
