How long does DNS propagation take?

When you change DNS settings — such as nameservers or records — the update needs to spread across the internet. This is called propagation, and it does not happen instantly.

Typical timings:

• Record changes (A, CNAME, MX, TXT) — usually a few minutes to a couple of hours.
• Nameserver changes — can take up to 24 to 48 hours to complete worldwide.

During propagation, some visitors may see the new setting while others still see the old one — this is normal and temporary. Lower TTL values speed future changes up.
