How long does it take to activate the site ?

Up to five minutes (in most cases ~10-20 seconds).
After that, you will receive an email with all the information you need, with account access passwords. But please note that it may take up to 24 hours before your domain will link to our server worldwide.
This is the time after registering a new domain or after sending your old domain to our DNS servers. It usually takes 3-5 hours, but rarely longer. For you personally, the time depends on your Internet provider.
But even before that time, you can test your site using your temporary address.
