How do I know if my DNS is propagating?

[mouakter13]

Nameservers can also have an impact on TTL values, and therefore, your website's load time . Kinsta has no influence on DNS propagation speed.

However, if you are moving your domain to Kinsta, making the change to a low TTL before starting the migration will ensure that the changes are completed (propagated) as quickly as possible.

Since the Web is hosted on a massive network of servers that make up the Internet, your website's DNS records may be stored on many servers. It's important to remember that propagation will only be complete when all of these cached DNS files have been updated.

This is why DNS propagation can take anywhere from a few hours to several days in some cases . Keep this in mind when making changes to your DNS file that may be time-sensitive and impact your website's performance.

If you want to check if DNS propagation has changed, there is a handy croatia phone number data tool you can use: whatsmydns.net.

How to point your domain to Kinsta

The second option is to use nameservers . This is a Premium DNS which we will get to in a minute.
