What
is propogation? |
| |
When
a visitor types your domain name into their Web browser, their
request is referred to a nameserver that indicates the physical
location (the IP address) of your domain on the Internet. When
your site location changes to a new IP address, or when a new
domain name is added, nameservers around the world must be notified
of the change. This process is referred to as propagation.
Propagation
normally requires 48-72 hours. During this period, if you
are transferring your domain, some nameservers will refer
to the old location of your site and some to the new location.
Therefore, a visitor accessing your site may be directed to
either the old or new location. If some visitors are still
being directed to your old site location after 72 hours have
elapsed, you should contact your previous Internet Presence
Provider and request them to update their DNS and delete your
domain from their servers. Once this has been done, and this
change has been completely propagated, the transfer to your
new location will be complete. |
