    It's almost instant... You might have to wait 1-10 minutes for it to refresh the database.

    You probably didn't change it correctly. If you did it yesterday, it should be updated. Check again in the Control panel if you've changed all the contact details (Registrant, Admin, Billing, etc).

    How soon the change will show in WHOIS depends on what kind.

    If it's changing DNS, it'll take a few minutes. If it's the name or contact info,
    that's updated every 12AM and 12PM if it's especially a .com.

    Instant as usual, unless DNS server is not busy at the moment
    Good luck

    no it is not for the DNS it is my info, it's been 2-3 days now and info on whois is still the same, i don't think that it is updating as fast you say, at lease not on godaddy.
