Do domain names take long to go live?

13 replies
I registered a few new domains names the other day and still don't see them in cpanel and they don't show the parked page or GoDaddy pages when typed in directly.

How long do you guys find it usually takes for your new domain purchases to go live?

I guess this will teach me to buy my domain names a few days earlier so they'll be live when I'm ready to add content huh?

Thanks
Mike

    I can buy a domain from namecheap, set it up on my box and have it live in 10-15min tops.

    Godaddy sucks in many ways. Don't ever email using your email@domain.com from them...get one complaint and they'll charge you 75-199 dollars to unlock your domain "AFTER" they shut it down.

    I bought a new domain via GoDaddy a couple of weeks ago and they SUCKED!

    1) They wouldn't give me the discount that was posted here at the time.

    2) It took me 5-days to get the darned thing moved over to my HostGator account.

    On the flip side, with NameCheap or Name.com I can have my site up and rolling in a MAXIMUM of 30-minutes in most cases. (Often 10-20 minutes)

    Did you transfer the DNS? Usually only takes me minutes.

      Me too. I use Godaddy and Hostgator and as soon as I change the DNS names and create an account in my Hostgator reseller account it's ready to go immediately.

    Slaps forehead in embarrassment....I switched the DNS numbers but forgot to add each domain in Hostgator! Oddly enough, they all work now...minutes after adding. :-) Maybe mor ethat 4 hours sleep per night would help me avoid this stuff....

    innocent07, I don't see your name in my subscribers list. Did you fill in your name and email?

    I haven't got a free report as of yet but rather some interviews in the queue with some heavy hitting IM folks. Very cool stuff that I'm trying to figure out how best to deliver. It will be worth the wait!

    Thanks everyone!

          Inncocent,
          After I posted and saw your post ...
          I went back into my Post and ADDED an Edit Note to
          the affect of saying that you had already alerted Mike
          that you were NOT speaking to Mike' when you posted.


          We told him the same thing. Get some sleep, it is 12:45 Eastern here.
