TTL is a number on a DNS record that says how many seconds other computers may remember the answer before asking again. A TTL of 3600 means up to one hour.
A long TTL makes lookups faster and reduces load, but it also means a change you make can take that long, or longer, to be seen everywhere. This waiting period is what people call propagation. A common technique before a planned move is to lower the TTL a day ahead, make the change, then raise it again afterwards. Why it matters: It explains why a DNS change looks live for you but not for a colleague, and why patience is sometimes the correct fix.
“Webtec is fantastic and you should hire them. Over the years, we have worked with many companies - and many of them good at what they do. The thing that really separates Webtec from others however is that Webtec really knows how to anticipate the needs of their clients, and then provides the necessary support needed - such that it always looks like magic.”
