Why isn't my domain working yet?

Updated October 9, 2026

After you change your domain's DNS records, or register a new domain, it takes time for the change to reach every network on the internet. Most changes work within a few hours, but some networks can take up to 72 hours.

While you wait:

  • Use the temporary address shown under Websites in your account.
  • Check the records at your domain registrar match the ones in your account exactly.
  • Try another network (for example, your phone's mobile data), since some networks update later than others.

If your domain still doesn't work after 72 hours, contact support.
