From Registration To Live…3 days.
How long do I have to wait?! Generally, from the time you commence a domain registration and enter your domain name information and contact information, you should be able to hit your website within 72 hours.
This time period allows the name server domain information to get propagated around the internet to other name servers. Once that happens, you'll be able to reach the place your domain lives and display either your parked domain or your website.
