I use openDNS http://www.opendns.com as my DNS servers for my home connection. It has a great feature in that you can click to have their DNS servers request a DNS IP from the root servers and see instantly if your domain is live.

Having said that, I have registered a number of the free .co.uk domains offered by OVH and they have been operational within minutes, often even before I have had a chance to set up my DNS servers with their information.

Did your payment go through? The order won't start until payment is made I don't think...

ok heres another one...i reg a domain with ovh, last night, yet now it's still saying it's avaliable on other sites? ...i'm lost, and yes the nameserver changes for me usually take about 10 mins, however it's close to 2 days.

It can take 72 hours for propagation to occur. When you change them go to www.network-tools.com, select express then enter your domain. It will show you the name servers it is currently using. All updates I have done to name servers take effect within about 1 hour in most cases but some take days.

Domains aren't created instantly, until its completed you can't change any settings, as it doesn't yet exist. Wait until the domain is created and you have the confirmation e-mail.

If you have waited more than 3 days for it, contact support as there may be an issue creating it. Phone them, don't e-mail, its quicker.

I suggest you use Google if you don't know what something is. You'll get an answer quicker.
