What Happens Next

DNS changes usually take effect within a few minutes, but may take up to 24 hours depending on DNS caching.

Common Issues

1. DNS changes not taking effect
   • Wait for DNS propagation
   • Clear your browser or DNS cache
2. Unable to edit DNS records
   • Confirm the domain is using GoDaddy nameservers
   • If custom nameservers are set, manage DNS at that provider
