If you purchased a new domain name with your account it will take up to 48 hours for the new domain name to propegate to the root dns servers.

If you transferred your domain name it is more complex, since DNS caching comes into play. Did you transfer or purchase a new domain?

If you are using Visual Studio .NET most people use the frontpage extensions to upload. Though if you want to use FTP I would suggest either WS_FTP, or CuteFTP. They are both shareware and you can download either one from www.tucows.com (http://www.tucows.com)

Problem with using VS.Net/Prontpage Extensions is it re-transmits everything, whether or not is has changed. This makes posting a new site rather a long process.

Or, have I missed something?

True. But we can't do anything to change it. We are looking forward to the new version of FP that comes with OFfice 11. It doesn't use the server side extension any more but rather FTP.

If you want to minimize the transfer time, use the copy project feature and copy just the necessary files (*.aspx, *.asmx, web.config, *.dll)

Hope this helps.

I'm not sure what you mean by reposting everything. I am using Visual.net with FP extensions and it works just like Visual Interdev. There is a local "cache" of the site and the remote (working) files. If I only change one file that's all that is uploaded. If I add any code and rebuild it is still quick. Of course it might have something to do with my 3.5 meg line but I doubt it. :)
