How long the average global DNS population time?

**yangyang** · 04-24-2008, 08:31 PM

I have registered one .com with godaddy and since then changed Name Server to my hosting company, but it's been 3 days and I cannot still access it, even from a proxy based in US.

Is there potentially any problem? A little worried now, and contacting Godaddy support.

3 days is a little excessive, but not unheard of. Usually it takes 24 hours or less.
Did you check to see if you entered the correct name servers? Definitely contact
GoDaddy about this issue.

It usually is 14400 seconds. You can look up the information using a tool such as this: http://www.intodns.com/

Check your local hosts file and make sure there's nothing there that may be pointing to the wrong IP. (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, I believe).

If you need help, PM me.

Tamar I had to do the math, but yeah 4 hours sounds about right.

Something probably went wrong. Domains don't take that long to correctly propagate anymore.

For com/net/org it is a few hours maximum. For other extensions it can take about 24 hours or more.

Seems something's wrong with my domain configuration at hosting side, cleared and made it all fresh.

I have the same problem before. DNS does get cached. Your local ISP's DNS might not get updated if you keep attempting to load the URL. Try not to hit the URL in 48 hours straight giving it a chance for the DNS to get updated.

Encountered this problem twice already and all turns out to be the problem of my hosting company, suck them.

I have a domain name with godaddy, too.
But Not more than 12 hr for the changing DNS.

I've registered 3 domains at godaddy recently and within 15-minutes (very surprisingly) my ISP had propagated the DNS to the new domains. I was very happy

. But usually, it takes about 24 hours for all ISP to sync.
