I switched my nameservers for a host name of mine, and its been almost 24 hours. Is it really supposed to take that long for them to switch over? I did this before, but did not take this long....

it all depends on the phases of the moon :D


wait another day....it'll be fine

aaak! :P ...ya, thought so, just want it now. :P

It can take up to 72 hours for your new nameservers to propogate. That's three days. But it often does not take that long.

It may already have been updated too, and Juguard's ISP has decided to augment TTL by a day or so. Some places do take longer to expire old information than others.

And more importantly it may take less than 24 hours for you but someone next door on a different ISP may take 72 hours to do it.

As rbuecker said. The TTL is important

i had hard time of 2 day while it was PROPOGATING.

with namecheap

The administrator has specified that you can only edit messages for 19600 minutes after you have posted. This limit has expired, so you must contact the administrator to make alterations on your message.

So here is a reply instead of an edit :(

I don't think the newer people should have to wonder or search for what TTL means. TTL is yet another acronym which stands for Time To Live, which is how long the information from a name server can be stored locally by your name server until it should be looked up again.

You can think of it like the Stock Quote/News Ticker updates in AIM. You set the TTL in your client to 2, 5, 10, 30 minutes etc. But if they change it on their server to a permanent value of 1 hour, no matter what you set it to- they will not refresh any sooner than 1 hour. Much like if you set up your nameserver at colo facility X with a TTL of 1 day, but the ISP you use reads it and alters it's copy to 3 days, you are going to have to wait three days (unless you proxy or change your ns's to the ones you set up if you so decide, etc).


This world has too many variables!@#~ :eek:
