Unable to move domain name to dreamhost from godaddy

I added the dreamhost name server to godaddy 30 minutes or so ago, is there a way to check that dreamhost has accepted the domain name?

As of right now, after doing the FTP successfully, my url is still pointing to godaddy's servers.

Hi Brendan,

It can take some time for changes to your DNS settings to propagate across the internet.

Another reason could be that your ISP is serving you a cached version of the page.

To check if this is the case, try visiting your site through http://anonymouse.org/

Hope that helps!
