What is Domain Name Registration

Registering a new domain name on the internet requires that networks throughout the world update their local records. This updating process is automatic and controlled regionally by thousands of service providers. Depending upon your service provider and geographic location, this process may take anyhere from 24-72 hours.

In rare cases, and in some rural internet locations, it may take as long as 4-7 days for a domain name to update. This process is referred to as Domain Name Propagation.

Thanks to this system, your domain name is translated into an ip address. That ip address is controlled by Gigfoot's server, and we route all traffic for your domain to your local hosting environment.
