What is propagation time in web hosting?

When you register for a domain, it approximately takes 24 to 48hrs to completely work and visitors to see the site. This time is called propagation time. This is the time it takes for root name servers across the entire web to be updated with your website's DNS information.

How do I check if my domain DNS is propagated?

You can ping or trace route in your local computer using your cmd in windows. You ping the IP of the Dns and if the ping results are positive, the domain has already propagated

Can propagation time be minimized?

This is process can be reduced by reducing the TTL (Time to Live) but this is also dependent on the ISP (Internet service Provider).
