<seo title="What is domain propagation" metakeywords="propagation,domain propagation,name server,propagate" metadescription="What is domain propagation" /><div align="justify">'''Propagation''' is the process of updating and new information transferring across all over the Internet. When you change the hosting details for a domain name, these details then need to be copied from name server to name server around the world until finally all of the name servers in the world have the latest copy of the information for your domain name. This process usually '''takes from 24 up to 48 hours''' to complete.

During the domain propagation process, traffic may come to either location. One person may see the new server while someone else will get the old one. Also, yourdomain.com may work while www.yourdomain.com does not. This is normal during the domain propagation and happens quite regularly.

'''Please note that though you see the new site at your screen when typing the yourdoamin.com does not actually mean that the domain propagation is over'''. The best way to determine whether it has completed or not is to review the statistics for each site (i.e. the old one & the new one).</div><br>
