    I just purchased a domain for the first time from NameCheap... I was wondering how fast does it usually take before you can use that domain?

    I was using NameAlerts before and I could use it within 15 min after I registered the domain... But for some reason NameCheap is taking alot longer.

    Depends on dc's and when they update for dns propogation. I have reg'd a domain and had it up and running in 15 minutes. Other times can take days.

    Col :)

    Wow, maybe I should just stick with NameAlerts because I've purchased over 12 domains with them and all of them I had up within 15 min... Then I just decided to switch to NameCheap and its taking forever

    you can start using the hosting instantly,work with the ip and load the site up
    and domain depends on the dns from about 15 mins to 24hrs
