Domain Name and IP Address Question

[eguzik]

Hi,

I just signed on for an account with FQ, and registered the domain name massfps.org with www.register.com (http://www.register.com) (not futurequest.register.com). I updated the DNS Server information at register.com, but massfps.org is still not showing the generic FQ webfiles, rather the generic Register.com webfiles. I am missing a step here? I should mention that I have yet to do anything with our static IP Address, and see no place at register.com to change the IP Address even if this were needed.[nbsp][nbsp]My question: what do I need to do to get the massfps.org domain to point to my webfiles in my FQ account?

Hello,

Now is one of the most frustrating times for any webmaster:

It's called propagation and the only solution to it is time.[nbsp][nbsp]

I see that the DNS information at Register.com was just updated yesterday and that's when the clock starts ticking on Propagation, which on a good day and with a good ISP (none of which any of us has any control over :P ) will finish in 24 - 48 hours.

In fact it is resolving for me correctly now, to read more about propagation you may wish to visit these pages:

Have a Good One
