What is “propagation” ?
Once the InterNIC announces that your domain name has been registered (or transferred, if applicable), it usually takes about 3 to 5 working days before it is active. All internet providers must update their records and name servers (DNS tables) to reflect new site locations. This is called propagation.
When a visitor types your domain name into their Web browser, their request is referred to a nameserver that indicates the physical location (the IP address) of your domain on the Internet. When your site location changes to a new IP address, or when a new domain name is added, nameservers around the world must be notified of the change. This process is referred to as propagation. Propagation normally requires 48-72 hours. During this period, if you are transferring your domain, some nameservers will refer to the old location of your site and some to the new location. Therefore, a visitor accessing your site may be directed to either the old or new location. If some visitors are still being directed to your old site location after 72 hours have elapsed, you should contact your previous Internet Presence Provider and request them to update their DNS and delete your domain from their servers. Once this has been done, and this change has been completely propagated, the transfer to your ne
When visitors type your domain name into their Web browsers, their request is referred to a nameserver that indicates the physical location (the IP address) of your domain on the Internet. When your site location changes to a new IP address, or when you deploy a new site with a new domain name, nameservers around the world must be notified of the change. This process of notification is referred to as propagation. Propagation typically takes 48 to 72 hours. During this time, if you are transferring your domain, some nameservers will still refer to your sites old location while nameservers that have already been notified of the change will refer to the new location. As a result, visitors accessing your site may be directed to either the old or new location, depending upon which nameserver they connect to. If some visitors are still being directed to your old site location after 72 hours have elapsed, you should contact your previous Internet Presence Provider and request that they update

Propagation is the process of updated and new information being transferred across all of the name servers around the internet. When you change the hosting details for a domain name, Melbourne IT enacts the changes in real time with the respective registry. These details then need to be copied from name server to name server around the world until finally all of the name servers in the world have the latest copy of the information for your domain name. This process usually takes between 24 and 48 hours from the time that the initial changes are requested through our web site.
