Changing Nameservers

[timboy18]

I recently bought a domain at namecheap.com
I ordered hosting on an offshore web hosting company and changed the Nameservers at namecheap.com

Does anybody know how long it would take to load, or did I do something wrong?

usually its new it will take a few hours to a day to propagate. sometimes it can take a few mins if your lucky.

Most of the tames it takes 2-4 hours.Try flushing your dns and see if it helps.You should waith 24 hours for the change, if there is no change after that then might be reason to panic.Untill that, sit down and relax

Just add the IP and URL into your hosts file and you can start working on your site ASAP.

Yes, changing of hosts file on the local machine will help the "OP" to start working on his website immediately. However, there is a downside as well, if he forget to remove the entries of the hosts file and if there is a problem with the name servers, he will be under the impression that his website is working very well.
