Hello, i have registred my domain name with netfirms.ca and then i got my hosting from godaddy.com godaddy said i need to update my DNS numbers with theirs.. i went to my netfirms account and updated DNS.. when i type my domain name address it still opens my netfirms (free hosting) page.. question #1: how long does it take for DNS to update so it points to my godaddy account. question #2: anyone familiar with godaddy, in control pannels.. it says domain name: and then Server IP Address-whats that ip address that it shows me? question #3: anyone familiar with godaddy.com, in DNS control is says: A(Host) Host: @ points to xx.xxx.xxx.xx whats that @ symbol? do i need to change it? in cnames(aliases) www points to @ do i need to change that? or leave it all at defaults. question #4: anyone familiar with netfirms.ca, in domains manager i can forward my domain to a different location. for now it points to my netfirms.. should i change that to godaddy? IP?

Best Answer:

Once you enter the DNS1 and DNS2 addresses to the Godaddy address, it takes about 48 hours before the switch takes place.
