When will my domain start working?

It usually takes 24-48 hours for a domain to fully replicate changes, additions, or deletions across all name servers. For you to see the effects, it all depends on your ISP. Updates my be within minutes for your neighbor, but may take up to a week for you. The reason for this is that the name servers for your ISP update at different times. For various ISPs, it is quite possible for DNS to take a week or more to update. Once you make changes to your domain with the registrar you purchased your domain from, the changes will take anywhere from 5 minutes to 72 hours for propagation to occur depending on your ISP and how often they update the DNS records.
