Today Now i m Going to tell you have to Make the DNS (Domain Name System) Propagation Faster. DNS stands for Domain Name System. According to Wikipedia DNS (Domain Name System) Means:
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical naming system built on a distributed database for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. It associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities. Most importantly, it translates domain names meaningful to humans into the numerical identifiers associated with networking equipment for the purpose of locating and addressing these devices worldwide.
When migrating web host to a different hosting service’s server or modifying the server’s IP address, the most important consideration to guarantee to retain availability of the websites hosted on the server, minimize the downtime of the web sites, avoid strange troubles such as emails get delivered to either server randomly, or surfing at old server, is how fast DNS (Domain Name System) will be able to read or resolve hostname or domain name into your new IP address, rather than the old IP address. Unluckily, webmasters have limited ability to control or override the DNS propagation process. However, there are still a few tips, tricks and workarounds that guarantee DNS cache will refresh the new IP addresses as soon as possible.
Now a days DNS propagation is already faster but we cannot see any changes because our system keeps the cache of the DNS instead of always finding it by connecting to the servers so here’s a Tricks
Just Follow the Steps :
- First Go To Start and then go to Run
- In Run type ” cmd ” (Without Quotes). and press Enter
- If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7 then Start Command Prompt in Administrator Mode
- Then Just type this Command “ipconfig/flushdns” (without Quotes) and Press Enter
- Now DNS cache’s are Cleaned and your work is done
Now i guess it will help you for your site. if you like it then do share and comment

for my experience, i have face some domain registrant do fast propagate when change dns. and some has slow domain propagate.
netfirms has fast domain propagate. so if you dont wait for long domain propagate, choose faster registrant like netfirms

Hmm , ya i have also mostly seen DNS propagation fast through Godaddy, but i guess it also depends upon the DNS server of the ISP and i have also found out a new trick that i will post soon

What do you do if you’re using Ubuntu?
Ritesh Sanap says
I tried some solutions that are mentioned online but none worked so i cannot you any solution currently for that.

DNS propagation at times is mostly the country network dns update.
Ritesh Sanap says
Well nowadays the changes are taken place in the fraction of a second but the problem is the cache and nothing else

You are absolutely right……I observed that .com propagates very fast than .com.ng, the issue of propagation only comes up when I am working with .com.ng
