If your doing updates on a website, sometimes its very frustrating when you domain name don't propagate that fast. Well you can't do anything about that. No one is in Control on domain propagation. Like or not domain propagation will takes place 24 hrs to 48 hrs.

I recently migrated to a new hosting company and make this page there. The ironic is, sometimes the new page don't show up. Instead I always see the old page.

Investigation is on the way.

I have read a help page about 3 years ago, about this kind of problem.

Domain name propagation is done completely 48 hrs, so the new page should appear. It is said that sometimes, the ISP (internet service provider) catch a page, and store it In there server, so as to make the page load faster in there network. For how long the ISP store the pages is not clear.

This situation will have an impact on page updates, how can you update a page if you can't see them? Imagine what will your clients says if you updates a page and it don't shows up in current time ?

Am having problem updating my page today, updates don't show up.
Don't know where the problem is.
Is it in my new hosting company?
Is it my ISP?


Good enough my new hosting company has helped me solve the problem.
