If you update the name server for your domain, it may require 24-48 hours until the changes fully propagate around the world wide web.

This waiting period is called DNS propagation. In simple words, it is the time taken by ISPs to update the caches with the new DNS information around the globe.

DNS caches work directly so it might be possible that after the nameserver change, some of your website visitors might still be directed to your old server. While others can see the website on the new server. Sometimes, it may take 72 hours to take effect.
