  http://aliirz.com/ is already working for me, but how long it takes for a new domain to start working depends on your location. When a new domain is purchased, the new DNS information needs to propagate throughout the internet. A set of master databases get updated first. Then, each ISP updates their DNS records about domains at various intervals, so you’ll need to wait however long that interval is after all of the master DNS databases have been updated. In my experience, it usually takes around a few hours for it to be updated in most locations.
