Ask a New Question « Previous | Home | Next » [ First | Last | Q List ] I just purchased a domain name. How long until I can use it? Question 8 of 8 A certain amount of time will elapse before a domain is fully registered and thus active on the Internet. Generally, allow 24-48 hours between purchase and activation. In the interim, you will not be able to publish or view your site, receive email messages or make use of your domain name. Similarly, if you make any changes to your domain name, such as modifying the DNS or name servers attached to your domain name, it will take up to 48 hours before the changes are implemented. « Previous | Home | Next » [ First | Last | Q List ] Reply     Sponsored Links   For more up-to-date information about registration and web hosting, visit the HostPapi Domain registration and web hosting blog.
