Once your modifications have been submitted, it will take 24-48 hours before your new information will be visible on the Internet. This 24-48 hWebsite Source Hosting delay is due to zone file propagation. The zone files, which update the Internet, are not transferred instantaneously. They take at least 24 hours to upload to the Main Root Servers which, in turn, spread information throughout the Internet. This can create delays of up to 48 hours before changes are visible in Website Source Hosting WHOIS database.
