For specific DNS records, the time it takes depends on the defined TTL value.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is TTL?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>TTL stands for &#8220;Time To Live&#8221;. The value is defined in seconds and tells a DNS server how long the record should be cached. A common value is 86400 seconds, which is 24 hours. When the TTL has expired, the DNS server will check if a change has been made. Although Websupports standard TTL is 600 seconds, which is 5 minutes.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why can it take up to 24 hours for a DNS change to propagate?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>DNS servers all over the world cache DNS records to be able to deliver an answer faster. How long the record is cached is defined by the TTL value. <br\/> <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>My changes haven&#8217;t propagated even though it&#8217;s been 24 hours. How is that possible?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>In some cases, it can take a little longer than 24 hours for a DNS change to take place. One example of this is if the TTL value is set at a higher value than 86400. Another cause can be that the device you&#8217;re checking from has cached the previous record locally. The local DNS cache can be emptied with <strong>Flushdns<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>On a <strong>Windows PC<\/strong> you can clear the DNS cache with the following steps:<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Open the start\/search menu and type &#8220;cmd&#8221;, then press enter to open the command console. In older versions of windows, you open the start menu and click &#8220;Run&#8221;, then you type &#8220;cmd&#8221; and press enter.<\/li><li>Here you type &#8220;<strong>ipconfig \/ flushdns<\/strong>&#8221; and press &#8220;Enter&#8221;. If you get a message telling you the DNS cache has been cleared, you can try visiting the domain again in your browser.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n<p><br\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It can take up to 24 hours for a DNS change to propagate all over the world.
