- DaiPlusPlus 6y agoThat depends on the TTL of your DNS records. But if it’s a brand-new registration for a dot-com then I’ve found DNS queries work within 3 minutes of me completing GoDaddy’s regustration (and using GoDaddy’s DNS zone hosting) even through my ISP’s DNS servers (provided there’s no cached NXDOMAIN results).
- DanielDent 6y agoThe .com zone file is updated every few minutes. Caching behaviours will vary significantly. Frequently a significant fraction of traffic can be using new nameservers within minutes, with a long tail of traffic with older information. Each TLD does their own thing. For example, last time I checked, .ca only seemed to be serving a new zone file every few hours. How long new nameservers take will depend on your luck in terms of where you are in their refresh cycle.
