    it should take 48-72 hours to propagate, anyway since saturday and sunday came in the middle, i suggest you wait till tuesday before assuming anything, anyway if you are unhappy try 123Ehost.com, they are amazing.

    The industry “standard answer” is 48-72 hours to propagate through the internet. However, this is extremely conservative. The last two times we switched DNS records, it took less than 15 minutes.

    Fastest I’ve seen happen is 20 seconds. But industry average (and conservative at that, as one replied here) is about 24 to 48 to even 72 hours.
    This is because no single party controls all the factors involved in how soon a domain name will resolve to its intended destination, be it a website, email, whatever. It’s a combination of all relevant “players” doing all their respective parts simultaneously.
    2 suggestions:
    1. Ask any friend somewhere else (e.g. you’re in Texas and your friend’s in Florida) if they’re able to pull up something if they type the domain name on their browsers.
    2. Use a proxy service (e.g. http://www.ninja.ms, not mine), type the domain name in the search box, and see if you’re able to pull up anything.
    If either one above is able to pull up something, then it might be any of the following:
    1. Your computer’s retaining “old” DNS information. You might have to “flush” it, but that requires a little techie know-how.
    2. Your computer might not be “clean” of any “unwanted guests” like spyware, viruses, etc. Make sure your computer doesn’t have any of them.
    3. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) hasn’t “caught on”. ISPs refresh their machines at their own pace, so some might get the new information while others might still retain the old one.
    Bottom line: explore all avenues possible based on what I had mentioned above. Get some help from techie people if need be.

    I never use the registrar for DNS. Try http://www.sitelutions.com They propogate within 15 minutes or so.

    Usually 12 to 24 hours.

    i tried using GoDaddy to host my site and ended up just getting a refund because i had the same problem.
    Im using Hostdepartment right now and it said it usually takes about 48 hrs but mine was up and running in approx. 2 hrs.
