DNS propagation can be a nuisance in some circumstances, but unfortunately it can’t be completely avoided. Fortunately, there are ways you can minimize the duration or at least work around problems. This way, your website will quickly be accessible again anywhere in the world at its current state.
If you haven’t yet changed your name server, you can already ensure in advance that the DNS propagation remains as compact as possible. To do this, set the TTL value in the A record on the side of your current server to the minimum. This can vary depending on the provider. Then wait 30 minutes and change the name server for your domain. This way, your domain redirects to the new server when the DNS propagation has been completed. Wherever the conversion has not yet taken place, it will still link to your old server, but will at least show the latest version of your website.
If you’ve already completed the move to a new name server, Google provides a DNS tool that allows you to view the new version of your website. The exact steps can be found on the platform page. Afterwards, clear your browser’s cache and then your DNS cache. Now you should already see the current version of your website.
