How Long For Domain Parking To Propogate?

[kaseytraeger]

Hi everyone!

 

I just submitted a help desk ticket to park two new domain names "on top of" my original domain that I host here.

 

From what I understand, when a domain name is parked on top of another, it means that if they try to type in something such as www.newdomain.com, they will reach www.originaldomain.com.

 

Is this correct?

 

Also, how long will it take for this to propogate? Totally lacking knowledge in this area and being excited to see my domain parked at TCH, I tried to access newdomain.com after I received confirmation that the domain had been parked at TCH. It still shows up as being parked at the domain name registrar. Understand that the total amount of time between receiving confirmation that the domain was parked at TCH and attempting to access the domain name was less than 3 minutes. I don't think there are many things that can propogate that quickly, but like I said, I was excited! I'd just like to know how long this sort of thing typically takes.

 

Thanks!

 

Oh, yeah, by the way, have I said Rock Sign lately? 'Cause it "soitinly" (ya gotta say it with a 3 Stooges accent) does!

Hi Kasey,

 

You will need to change the DNS for the parked domains, so they point to our nameservers (if you have not already done so, then it takes between 24 and 72 hours for the domain names to propagate fully.

Hey Andy!

 

Good to see you again.

 

Thanks for reminding me about that nameserver thing. You did tell me to do that in the ticket, but I completely forgot about it.

 

I'll take care of that right now.

 

Yet again, my hat's off to you for superb customer service!!!
