How do I fix my custom domain propagation problems?


There are a handful of reasons why you might be experiencing propagation problems with your custom domain.

For a true propagation problem, there’s nothing to fix—you need to wait up to 24 hours for the Internet to distribute your new domain settings.

Here’s why …

Every server on the Internet has a map that it uses to send requests to different custom domains, and those maps aren’t updated instantly. That would be inefficient and cause the entire Internet to slow down. Instead, these maps are typically updated every 4 to 24 hours, depending upon the needs of the particular server.

These days, servers tend to ask for map updates much more frequently than once every 24 hours, so it’s safe to say that if your domain isn’t working correctly after 4 hours, you should double-check your settings.
