Why does it take 72 hours for domain updates to process?

Updated: Sat, Jan 28th, 2017 @ 3:11pm
When you connect a custom domain to your site, you're changing its DNS (Domain Name System) settings. These changes can take anywhere between 24 and 72 hours to start working properly. Domain providers refer to this waiting period as "propagation time," or the time it takes for changes to update throughout the web.

The exact timing depends on many factors and isn't something Kinesto can control or expedite. If you've entered all records correctly and your domain isn’t working right away, or if it's working on some devices but not others, there’s nothing to worry about. The Internet is a big place, and it can take time for all of its servers to catch up with every change. The best course of action is to wait.  After 72 hours, you can contact us if all devices are not displaying properly.
