Gotchas at Network Solutions
- The two-step Continue → Save flow catches people out; changes are lost if you stop after Continue.
- Records can take several hours to publish.
After you save
DNS changes aren't instant. Resolvers keep the old answer until the previous record's TTL expires, so a record with a 4-hour TTL can take 4 hours to change everywhere. Use the Route Planner's live check to see what the world sees, and the troubleshooting page if it still looks wrong after the TTL has passed.
