| 5. How long will
it take to set up my account/transfer my domain?
You
will receive account information within 24 hours of signing
up with NetHere to include a username, password, and the
ftp address or ip address of your site so that you can either
mirror your site or upload you site to our servers.
The
total transfer time includes the time it takes for the registrar
to complete changes to your domain name and for the changes
to propagate to all domain servers. The time it takes
for the registrar to make changes depends on the registrar
and how the changes were made to the domain (fax request
or username/password).
All
internet providers must update their records (DNS tables)
to reflect new site locations. This is called propagation.
Propagation is usually completed in about 72 hours, during
which time visitors could get transferred to either site.
At the end of the 72 hours you should contact the previous
host to have them close your account and delete the old
domain from their servers and update their DNS record.
