Factors that Affect DNS Propagation Time

Date Submitted: 4-13-2011 by GoDaddy Expert  Rachel

Not what you're looking for?
We want your feedback!

Does this scenario sound familiar? You update your domain name in the Domain Manager or DNS Manager, but your changes aren’t immediately visible online. You call our 24/7 Technical Support team for help, and the representative informs you that DNS updates can take up to 48 hours to propagate throughout the Internet. Frustrated, you wonder what could possibly take us so long to implement your changes.

It might surprise you to know that we process your DNS updates rather quickly — usually within one or two hours — and most factors that contribute to DNS propagation delays are out of our control.

To help you understand what’s really going on when we say your DNS updates are propagating, we’ve created a new Help article, What factors affect DNS propagation time?

If you’ve patiently waited 48 hours and your updates haven’t propagated, contact our 24/7 Technical Support team for assistance.
