Domain Propagation:
When a visitor types your domain name into their Web browser, their
request is referred to a nameserver that indicates the physical location
(the IP address) of your domain on the Internet. When your site
location changes to a new IP address, or when a new domain name is
added, nameservers around the world must be notified of the change. This
process is referred to as propagation. Propagation normally requires
24-48 hours. During this period, if you are transferring your domain,
some nameservers will refer to the old location of your site and some to
the new location. Therefore, a visitor accessing your site may be
directed to either the old or new location. It is usually best to keep
your previous hosting company until your transfer is verified as having
taken place.
