Inmotion Hosting webpage showing after deleting a subdomain

I created the following subdomains for my webpage: contact.mydomain.io blog.mydomain.io and port.mydomain.io

At first I have created a folder 'blog' in public_html through file manager and then a subdomain through the CPanel subdomain section. I have added an index.html to check if it works, but it didn't.

The other two subdomains 'port' and 'contact' I have created them directly from the subdomain section in CPanel, which in turn created these folders in my public_html folder. Adding an index.html in these two worked fine.

However, I was only just trying things and never intending, at the moment to include these subdomains on my webpage, so I deleted them.

When I tried to access the link blog.mydomain.io, it returns a message 'This site can't be reached', which I believe is the correct message. However for the other two subdomains, I get this message:
"
ecbiz204.inmotionhosting.com

Your IP is www.xxx.yyy.zzz
"

Is this something that I should be worried about? Does it go away in 24 hours or did I do something wrong that needs to be fixed?

Thank you!

Hello,

Thank you for your question on subdomains giving a server page after deletion. Yes, this just means your local DNS server still has a record logged for the subdomain. Since you removed it from the server, it can take up to 4-24 hours for the DNS server to reset and remove it.

Kindest Regards,
