Time takes to transfer a .com domain

[Amateur]

Hi,

I transferred my domain to blacknight last night from a US supplier. It is .com domain and the transfer went through successfully. I changed the nameservers during the transfer to new hosting. I am wondering how long will it take before the nameservers are resolved and the domain points at the new hosting?

If the new nameservers are showing in WHOIS then it's simply a matter of waiting for DNS to catch up

does it take up to 48 hours for the whois nameserver to update?

Did you update the nameservers AND associate the domain with a service eg. mail / web hosting?

I think I did, it has a folder on my wwwroot and is in my List of domains with Web hosting.

Actually just reading over the transfer steps again: "Blacknight’s registrar will send an email to this address to verify the transfer request; you must respond to this."

Must check with other site owner if they did this (as I havent)

If it is a .com domain the transfer can take up to 5 days to process fully - assuming that:

• the domain is unlocked
• the epp code supplied is correct
• the email address associated with the domain is valid, reachable and the registrant has clicked on the link
