    Yes ipage NS is very slow to fully propagate.

    Last time its take me 3 days to see my website.

    I suggest you try to view your site using proxy.

    Just do the search for their domain name. I'm sure that will help you to find more information

    It can take up to 72 hours for this information to propogate to the majority of DNS Servers. It's just a matter of patience because there's nothing your host can to do speed up this process.

    No. They will have updated their DNS servers when your domain was added to their hosting. What takes the time is for OTHER DNS servers to update this information and your host can't control that process.

    When someone visits your site they will probably be using the DNS servers of their ISP to get the relevant DNS info. If these DNS servers don't have that information they will carry out a request that will eventually connect to your DNS servers for the relevant info. The requesting DNS server will then cache (store) that information. If anyone else who alse uses these DNS servers asks for the same information it will provide it from the cache (stored info) rather than carrying out a fresh request (which takes time...milliseconds, but it's still time). It is this "store" by the ISP DNS servers that causes the delay in your domain propogation.

    Some ISP DNS servers store this information for too long. That means that if you were a regular visitor to your site the DNS servers you are using will be providing the data from their cache rather than make a new DNS request. This data will be out-of-date until the DNS servers you are using for your connection (not the ones for your domain) renew their stored information. How often they update their cache will depend on how the administrator of these DNS servers have set them up.

    That's where there's an anomaly. Those who visit your site regularly will probably be the ones who get the new site information latest. New visitors to your site might be using an ISP who DNS servers don't have your site info, and will have to make a request to find it out. These people will get your new site info immediately. That's why the suggestion to use a proxy will work because it is likely that the proxy will carry out a new DNS request which will get the latest (rather than cached) info about your domain.

    If DNS changes take a long time it isn't the fault of your host. It is entirely dependant upon whose DNS servers you use for your connection. There's no point in hassling your host about it because there's nothing they can do. If DNS propogation is taking a long time you should complain to your ISP (or whoever provides the DNS servers for your internet connection) because it is THEM that are delaying this process, not your host.

    Hope that makes sense:confused:
