Check DNS Propagation

Looking for Linux Server Admin or WordPress Expert? We can help.

When you make changes to DNS entry of your domain or changed name server, it can take several hours to propagate across different DNS servers around the world. This is because each DNS server have its own cache, they only check for new DNS records when the record expire.

If you can plan in advance, set expire value for your DNS to lower like 1 hour before you make changes to your DNS entry, so your DNS entry will get expired in 1 hour and DNS servers update cache with new value.

Here are some useful sites to see which IP your domain resolve from different part of the world.
