Some new subdomains aren't working?

    I've created a few subdomains today, most of them work instantly - but there's a few that are giving me a "Server not found" message.

    cPanel says: "Subdomains rely on the DNS system in order to function, which means that your DNS information must propagate...blablabla"

    If that's true, then why do some subdomains work instantly, and some don't work at all (after a couple of hours anyway)?

    well i noticed when i create subdomains if i go to the address right away or before i create it I wont be able to see it.. I just create it and usually wait 5 seconds and its fine. You can also clear your cache in the cmd ipconfig etc..

    That's what's happened to me... I'm pretty sure the broken subdomains are ones that I tried to access before I'd made them :eek:

    Does it come good after a few hours? Or should I delete the subdomains and start again?

    Clear your local dns cache and see:

    ipconfig /flushdns
