			'''Please note:''' Anytime you make changes to the DNS records, it can take anywhere from a minimum of 1-3 hours, up to a maximum of 24 hours for DNS propagation to complete and update to the new values. During this period, you may notice that your website is attempting to connect to the old values even though they are no longer valid. As a result, you may see that your website is unavailable during that time.

			DNS uses a caching mechanism defined by the TTL (time-to-live). When records are changed, the DNS network is updated and goes through a process known as propagation, where all the global DNS nodes are updated. This takes time to complete. During this propagation period, traffic to your site will be going to either the old servers or the new servers. Once propagation is complete, all traffic will be going to the new server.
