When Will My Domain Be Activated After Registration?

The activation time for a domain after registration depends on the domain extension (TLD) and other factors.

1. Instant Activation (Few Minutes to Hours)

• Most standard domains (e.g., .com, .net, .org, .my) are registered and activated within minutes to a few hours after successful payment.
• While the domain is available for use, DNS propagation may take additional time before it becomes fully accessible worldwide. DNS propagation can take up to 24 hours.
• This process allows internet servers globally to recognize and update the new domain information.

2. Country Code Domains (ccTLDs)

• Some country-specific domains (e.g., .com.my, .sg, .co.uk) may require manual verification, such as business registration approval.
• The activation time for these domains varies and may take anywhere from a few hours to several days, depending on the registry’s requirements.

3. Premium or Restricted Domains

• Certain domains categorized as premium or requiring special approval (e.g., government-related or sensitive keyword domains) may undergo additional verification and manual approval by the domain registry.
• This process can take anywhere from several days to a few weeks, depending on the registry’s policies.
