Sometimes after we direct a domain to hosting or change from one hosting to another hosting, the change cannot be felt immediately. Or it still leads to the previous domain.
Usually changing from one server to another is slower than the process of ordering new hosting, because the browser on the client computer mostly still stores the previous DNS cache.
DNS propagation itself is the time required for a domain to connect to the server. The DNS propagation period itself has various variations, which usually can last up to 1 x 24 hours. If a domain has passed the propagation period, then the active domain can be accessed.
Following are some of the causes of DNS Propagation:
- Computer Cache: usually the computer will store a cache on the internet, this is what causes changes not to be immediately detected by the client computer that accesses the website.
- Internet Service Provider: In this case, the DNS propagation period is also influenced by the ISP used by the user. The ISP will make adjustments to the new DNS to be activated under certain conditions.
