Please be aware that you have to allow 2-3 days propagation and migration time for your new ip address to peak to top performance.</p> <p>[This message has been edited by NSS (edited 10 June 2000).]</p> <p>[This message has been edited by NSS (edited 10 June 2000).]</p> Sun, 11 Jun 2000 00:50:00 +0000 NSS comment 1043507 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
