What is DNS?
Your DNS or Domain Name Server is the system that allows your web site
to be displayed when the user types in www.yourdomainnamehere.com.
Name servers are the Internet's equivalent to a phone book. A name server
maintains a directory of domain names that match certain IP addresses (computers).
The information from all the name servers across the Internet is gathered
in a central registry.
This makes it possible for people accross the Internet to access your
Web site using a familiar domain name, instead of having to remember a
series of numbers
It usually takes about 4-8 hours for .com and .net domains and about 24-48
hours for all other domain extensions before name servers on other networks
are able to access the information after the central registry gets it.
This period is referred to as the propagation period.
