Java hosting & deploying a WAR

Buy a Java hosting plan — you’ll receive control-panel details by email within ~15 minutes. If your domain isn’t with Quick2Host, update its nameservers. Log into the control panel, create any databases or email accounts you need, then open File Manager → public_html and upload your .war file. Finally, raise a support ticket from the customer portal asking us to deploy the uploaded WAR — our technical team will deploy it and notify you.

Whenever you change your domain's nameservers, the update has to reflect across the internet. This process usually takes 24–48 hours and is called DNS propagation.

Internet Service Providers worldwide cache a copy of your domain’s DNS so your site loads faster on repeat visits. When you change nameservers, that cache is not cleared instantly — each ISP has to expire its copy and fetch the fresh record.

There is no way to force propagation. To minimise downtime, upload your site to the new server first, then add DNS records in your existing zone (on the old server) to point visitors at the new server — that takes effect faster than a nameserver change. Once traffic is flowing to the new server you can switch nameservers any time.

There is no perfectly reliable tracker — a Whois, ping or traceroute won’t confirm it. Tools like WhatsMyDNS give a rough regional picture. In practice, make your change, then wait a day or two (up to 48 hours) and it will settle.

Java plans use cPanel: Mail → "MX Entry" → select your domain → set priority (0 is highest) and enter the mail-exchanger hostname → "Add New Record".
