Everyone experienced one day of trouble with migrating WordPress websites and DNS Propagation. The issue is when you try to install WordPress on your new hosting server, it automatically gives you a temporary website until you’ll assign your domain name, And that’s the huge problem!
WordPress Migration and DNS Propagation Issue
After importing your backup files via the website migration plugin and recovering all your previous files to the new host, everything goes fine until you are surprised that your home page still shows the default installation page.
You double-check the cache settings and purge all, but still, on the same page, nothing has changed.
Now, you have to think about the DNS propagation process; I’m going to explain everything about it in an easy way to help you understand it perfectly.
DNS Propagation in few words
Think of DNS propagation like updating an address book. When you make a DNS change, like pointing your domain to a new hosting server, you are telling the internet where to find your website. Just like updating an address book, it takes some time for everyone to get the new information.
Patience is Key
During this time, different parts of the internet, like servers and routers, need to update their own copies of the address book with your new website’s location. This process doesn’t happen instantly everywhere; it takes a bit of time for the updated information to spread across the internet. Once the update is complete, everyone will know where to find your website, and they’ll start seeing the new content you’ve set up on your new hosting server.
