I just recently got my domain name and hosting set up and Im not able to edit my web page through wordpress. Is there some sort of time delay before im able to do this? Ive downloaded WP through my cpanel but when I take the link it gave me it says "Oops! Google Chrome could not find ***************.com"

Any help would be appreciated and I look forward to interacting with everyone more often.

Thanks,
AK
 


I dont believe so. I purchased the domain name and web hosting at the same time with host gator.

Edit: If that helps. Sorry Im kind of a noob
 
Ok so correct me If I did this wrong.

I made a A record for my domain with no WWW( ********.com) and the for the address I entered my servers IP.

I also attempted to create a A record for my domain with the WWW(www.*******.com) same IP address as stated above.

The first one worked fine but when I entered the www.*******.com it said that there was already a Cname created.

Website is still not up. Did I go about this correctly?
 
If you're using hostgator their online tech support / irc chat people are usually quite helpful (at least by my experience). Getting wordpress online with hostgator should be a one click install - if the script went wrong they'll fix it for you.

Ok thank you I'll open up a topic over there.
 
Problem resolved. I kind of feel like a potato now :crap:. Appearntly it can take up to 72 hours to propagate the name servers. Looks like I'll just have to write some content to occupy my time. All in all though I learned something new. I now know how to point a domain dns to my host.

I appreciate Those of yo that tried to help.

While DNS are being propagated, you can already start working on your site. You should have an access to it via something like ip/username, 4eg 11.11.77.8/~wickedf . Smoke the Hostgator FAQs to find the address or shoot them another ticket. Good luck.
