I have taken a domain name trickwarehouse.tk and set the name servers of hostinger.in in my domain's DNS. But when I try to access the file manager, I get an error message:


Your domain is not pointing to our nameservers at the moment, so services such as FTP, File Manager, E-mail (and others) will not work correctly. You can find our nameservers at the "Accounts -> Details" section. Please mind that DNS might take up to 24 hours to propagate when the change is submitted.


They are telling me that "DNS might take up to 24 hours to propagate when the change is submitted".

Will it really take 24 hours to set up?

DNS propagation can take a period of time ranging from a few minutes to as long as 48 hours. However, it does not appear your DNS is setup correctly.

If I do a trace on your DNS, your domain registrar appears to have an issue sending NS records for your domain.

I would contact whoever you registered the domain with about this issue.

The DNS lookup dies at the .tk nameservers. The .tk nameservers should return the NS records for NS1-NS4.HOSTINGER.IN. Since they are not returning these records, your domain resolution fails.

The trace dies with .tk's nameservers.

dig +trace trickwarehouse.tk

This shows a good result. The .tk nameservers return proper NS records for dot.tk.

As Vishal said yes it can take up to 48 hours for the DNS to fully propagate.

Doing a whois lookup of your domain shows your nameservers as:

NS4.HOSTINGER.IN
NS3.HOSTINGER.IN
NS2.HOSTINGER.IN
NS1.HOSTINGER.IN


Hopefully they have propagated and you are now longer seeing that message.

Personally for various host I have seen it happen almost instantly to over a day. Also I have seen cases where I could see a site after changing the DNS while someone else could not. It took a bit longer before they saw it.

If you are still receiving the message after 24 hours then try contacting your host support.
