After a new domain name is registered, it will take up to 72 hours for it to be active and go live. This is called "propagation". Your domain name (includes URL/Email forwarding) will not work until it is active.

The registry only updates the zone files from their database once every 12 hours, and as domain sales increase, so does the queue. VeriSign Global Registry updates at 5:00 am and 5:00 pm EST.

Please note that this is under the control of the Registry, and we do not have any abilities to make this happen faster.
