Domain propagation question

How much time is getting to have a domain visible worldwide?

Is there any tool that you can query major DNS servers from all around the world?

Well this depends of the country and the isp.

Some isps get up to 2 months(!) to cache the new domain, but this is too rare

In usa domain propagation gets 24 - 72 hours to complete.

A great tool to check if your site is live is http://traceroute.org/

Pick the country that interests you and check the results...

I forgot to mention. If you have shell access to your server (this works only in unix systems), you can give this command :

Code:

nsite mynewdomain.com

It returns the responses of all the known dns servers.

It usualy takes around 48 hours to propogate.

Well this depends of the country and the isp.

Some isps get up to 2 months(!) to cache the new domain, but this is too rare

WHAT?? 2 MONTHS? That's insane.
BTW, there's now a new system out that gets your domain propagated within the hour (so I've heard...)

I hope this is true, because it is really big problem when you move hosts.

We moved our server these days, and I mentioned that the domains propagated very fast. Of course there are several DNS servers that still have old records, but it's ok  as the good - serious ones got the new records very quick.
