How long do DNS changes take? Print

0

Nameserver and DNS changes usually go live within 15 minutes and are visible everywhere within a few hours. A small number of networks cache records for up to 24 hours.

Check progress with dig yourdomain.com or any public DNS lookup tool.
Flush your own cache: on Windows run ipconfig /flushdns, on macOS sudo dscacheutil -flushcache.
If the old site still appears, your ISP's resolver is caching it — test from a phone on mobile data to confirm the change has propagated.
