<h2>Understanding Global DNS Propagation</h2>

    <p style="margin: 0; font-size: 14px; color: #2c5282;"><strong>⏱️ How long does it take?</strong> While CrushHost's cloud network detects DNS handshakes within minutes, worldwide Internet Service Providers (ISPs) cache DNS records. Full worldwide propagation usually takes between <strong>15 minutes to 4 hours</strong> (maximum 24 hours).
