Overview

DNS changes are not instant and depend on TTL (Time To Live).

Typical propagation times

  • Small changes: 5–30 minutes

  • Global propagation: up to 24 hours (sometimes 48)

What is TTL?

TTL defines how long other servers cache your DNS records.

Tip

Lower TTL values allow faster changes but may increase DNS load.
