A) When you set up a domain at HostRightNow, it is set up immediately on our main server. The Server configuration details are acquired from the main server four times a day, so it can take up to 6  hours for the c servers to grab the details for the new domain. Internic generally takes 24-48 hours to get new domains ready. Sometimes Internic will take longer than that, but most of the time Internic gets new domain ready in 24-48 hours.
