Re: .biz domain working only in local

Things look fine now.

Changes are not instantaneous. Delegation information has
to pass from the registrar to the registry. It then has
to propogate to the DNS servers. Each of these steps takes
time. Also the DNS caches information. If you ask a cache
before the data has updated there is a lag before you get
the new information.

203.144.255.71 is a cache. The answer you have below is
nearly two hours old.
