Hi, I'm getting new hosting accounts and finding nameservers updates are giving me access in under two minutes ~~~~~~~~ Has the overall 'Net DNS system' changed the last ~3-4 months? Are DNS updates usually really fast now? Thanks
Well, it may be a coincidence or the TTL is quite low; meaning more frequent updates to the DNS caches. Computer and networks are getting faster each passing day...so why not the DNS system overall ?
i changed hosts and DNS was pointing to the new severs within minutes on all 8 sites i moved in the last 2 months
I'm seeing it too Certainly, 'the entire Internet' doesn't see the changes within 95 seconds, but my connection to new hosts is super fast, these last few weeks.
Generally nameservers are uodated instantly, the problem that slows you down from seeing them is you ISP namservers, they seem to update less frequently, thats why I use OpenDNS for my nameservers at home.
Just rememebr that just because you get it quickly does not mean that everyone does. Keep your old site up for at least 48 hours and 72 is better.
Yes I also noticed the nameservers update it is very fast I updated at Godaddy and it was working within 2 minutes!
Your lucky whenever i change my DNS settings at Godaddy i have waited beyond 12 hours for propogation to take place on some occasions. I have started using OpenDNS now also, thanks for the tip adultuserbars
