the dns model has been around for how many years? and you'd think that by now they'd have a way to shorten the amount of time it takes for a dns change to propogate the net.

:rolleyes:

i can't believe that a simple change like that took almost the full 48 hours. that's beyond belief.

sorry..i just had to get that outta my system.

:eek:

Doesn't eNom state it takes minutes? (I can be wrong in this, I just read it somewhere recently!) ...

No, it takes upto 48 hours for your ISP to update their DNS servers. There's no way for eNom to speed it up, as far as I know.

Maybe with IPv6 they should introduce a whole new system...*sigh* :)

It can take about 12 hours also but then 48 hours is the end.

enom says it takes 10 minutes ??

i haven`t looked into this but it`s most likely if you are using their dns and redirecting to another url then the changes take effect within 10 mins

Could we be talking about 2 seperate things? My experience is that it can take 12 to 48 hours if you change the name servers of you domain with your registrar.

But if you are changing an IP address that a server points to in your DNS, that can be set to update sooner. I run my DNS through UltraDNS and have TTL set to 5 min. That way the DNS servers around the world check in for updates every 5 minutes.

"That way the DNS servers around the world check in for updates every 5 minutes."

5AM and 5PM/or did it change?

The time it takes for DNS to "propogate" (hate that word) is a trade off between how quickly you want it to happen compared to how much load you want on your DNS Servers.

I'm note sure, but if you just sign up for a domain name it takes longer than just pointing it somewhere, and then I guess it depends on the nameservers as well and the people administering them. I think my host had alreaddy done some work on it when I change nameserver from my domain registrar to my host.
