Answer 3)'DNS propagation' is a term to describe the updating of information across the Internet.
Customers often contact us to say that they can't see their domain names straight after ordering them, or
just after a transfer between providers. After either of these two events your domain name/website may not be
visible for up to 48 hours, mainly because millions of DNS servers need to be updated with the new
information.
Once propagation is over, your site will be appearing on our server and your email will be fully functional.
There is no real way of seeing when propagation has completed. During the first 48 hours, even if you see your
site on the new server, it doesn't mean propagation is over and everyone can see your site as well.

Answer 4)It takes new domain information anywhere between 24 and 72 hours to fully propagate throughout the entire
internet. Some people will be able to access your site sooner than others because their DNS servers got
updated before others.

Answer 5)Propagation is the act of "announcing" your domain to the internet. This can be limited by several factors:
How long it takes your registrar to send out this announcement, how fast the internet is at the time, and how
fast your ISP picks up the announcement.
Propagation times can vary from a few minutes to, in some extreme cases, up to 2 days.
