Default Domain Name alias problems

I have a Windows Reseller Hosting account that uses Plesk...

Ive just created a new website hosting for my band, we already have a domain name registered with 123 reg (theeyelashesthatatemanhattan.co.uk) and pointing to our old website hosting that is hosted on a different server.

So before creating our new website hosting I set a physical hosting account on my reseller account using a temporary domain name (a subdomain of my primary domain name - eyelashes.hostedwebdesign.co.uk).

Now our new website hosting is almost complete I updated the name servers at 123 reg with the eukhost dns details, I then added a domain alias to the "eyelashes.hostedwebdesign.co.uk" hosting account, setting it to "theeyelashesthatatemanhattan.co.uk".

After a few hours Ive noticed that when I enter "www.theeyelashesthatatemanhattan.co.uk" into my browser I get sent to our new website hosting, but when I dont enter the "www." prefix I still get sent to the old website hosting.

Is this just because Ive not waited long enough for the domain name to propagate through the net, or have I done something wrong?

(jeez that was hard to explain, I hope it makes sense to somebody!)
