DNS Propagation #
If you’re unsure whether DNS has fully propagated, you should check the IP address your requests are resolving to. The easiest way to do this is to ‘ping’ the domain name from your local computer. On Windows, open a Command Prompt, and on macOS, open a Terminal, then type:
ping domain.comReplace domain.com with the website you wish to check. The IP address returned will show you which server you’re reaching when typing that domain into your web browser. It’s a good idea to check both www.domain.com and domain.com, as each record will have its own cache.
To determine if this is the server at CP CLOUD HOSTING, make sure the IP address returned by the “ping” matches the IP address displayed on the right-hand side of our StackCP control panel. If this isn’t the case, and you have recently created a new hosting package, manually changed your DNS records, or updated your nameservers on the domain, it’s likely DNS is still propagating for you.
