How long does it take for a website to go live

The time it takes for a website to go live largely depends on propagation, which is normally 24-48 hours. In some cases this can be a little longer. There are times where there are internet outages due to large databases being down, there are also times where your web host might be doing some maintenance, which could also increase the time your website will live. In many cases, your website might be live for you and for people in your region. However, due to propagation, your site being live around the world could take a bit longer, which as mentioned is typically 24-48 hours.

When considering how long it takes for your site to go live, you might also want to consider how long it will take for your site to be redirected. In many cases if your hosting and your domain registrar are different, you could be looking at longer times.

There are tests you can do of course to check this.. If you want to ping the ip address, you could open up your terminal which is called terminal on unix and mac, it’s called cmd on windows. Once you got the terminal open, just type “ping yourwebsite.com -t -l 10”

You would of course change “yourwebiste.com with your actual domain name. The -t is how many times your pinging and the -l is how much data you’re using. Try not to use large numbers like 100 or 200 etc.. You don’t want to overload your network or the site's network..

You can also enter your server ip.. You can do this by using whois.com Just type in your website name or domain name and press enter. You will see server ip in the results.
