What's the quickest a domain name has propagated for you?

[N9ne]

I've been setting personal records with ol' Namecheap lately. The last 8 domains I've bought from NameCheap have all propagated within 24 hours, but recently they've been propagating in less than 10. The latest domain I got was propagated in 6 hours or so.

Is this normal nowadays? Are domains propagating super fast?

It's weird, when I was with DirectNIC domains took around 30 hours but with namecheap they're taking a lot less...

Waht's the fastest propagation you've had?

Around two minutes for me.

For me, with NameCheap, it was 2 mins.

Godaddy 2-5 mins
PlanetDomains 2-20 Hours
Registerfly 2 to 3 weeks and 5 emails

 

[wow!]

Yea ...
Dont know how it is working but, in Namecheap so far it was the fastest way to become live.
I changed DNS to Sedo parking after I regged in Namecheap and after 5 minutes
it goes to Sedo homepage.
So...is it fast or what?!

namecheap resells enom domain services. I find any service that uses enom normally resolves really really fast. Domainsite takes awhile to reflect changes.

Interesting old thread, nowadays, the propagation for .com at godaddy is almost instant.

the quickest resolving i've had was 2 hours with yahoo but that was a freak resolving. my other domains took days

typically with godaddy after getting a new domain and setting the DNS it seem to take 5-10min if i do a ipconfig /flushdns and the page is up and running.

very quick

Believe it or not, my friend and I just clocked his domain's DNS propagation to
just 20 seconds flat just a while ago! Record breaker for me, so far.

But he was just lucky, of course. It didn't happen for another domain. :hehe:

Back when this was a major issue I used to set my Refresh/TTL's to 5 minutes before making any changes to a zone. This was mainly because the default was 2-5 days or something ridiculous like that. I guess if you set your max ttl to 1 second your dns changes would update in one second.

Most registrars seem to have a a refresh/ttl that should get your information updated in 2 hours max. Of course if you update 119 minutes 59 seconds after the last refresh then you'll see the effects in 1 second.

I've had problems with some servers ignoring these values. The biggest culprit is my own proxy server, but the reduction in queries saves me a lot of traffic. It's usually not a problem, but there's nothing you can do if someone along the way caches this information for you unless you have an alternative route.

Domainsite is normally under 15 mins.

My np$ Registered domains are usually ready by the time I open my FTP

A few times at namecheap I've regged a new name and gone straight to my hosting account, addon the domain and you can access it within minutes. Last time I regged 2 and one was up straight away the other took another few hours. Its a lot faster than a couple years ago when it usually took 3 or 4 days.
