It usually takes 24-48 hours for a domain to fully replicate changes, additions or deletions across all name servers. For you to see the effects, however, all depends on your ISP and physical location. Updates may be within minutes for your neighbor, but may take up to a week for you or vice-versa. 

The reason for this is DNS propagation. DNS propagation is based on your physical location and ISP; it is not something we have control over. After you enter the correct nameservers (at your domain registrar, the site where you purchased your domain name), propagation usually completes within 24-72 hours. After that time, your site will be appearing on our server and your email will be fully functional. 

There is no positive way to tell when the process has completed. This happens because you must give the root servers of the internet, your ISP, and your local network time to clear the cached IP and server information. Even if you see the site on the new server at your local machine the person next door to you can see something different.
