    Hi,
    Did you buy the domain at Godaddy?

    Looks like you haven't changed the name server/DNS setting for the domain at Godaddy so the domain is pointing to Fatcow hosting.
    Or you just need to wait a few hours if you already completed that step.

      Yes, its from godaddy. Its coming 48hrs since I registered with fatcow as my web hoster.

      Yes Craig is right. I have seen this before. In your welcome email from your hosting account, you need to look for Name Server Information. Usually there are two. a Primary and a secondary. Just copy and paste into your domain manager in the appropriate place. It may take from several hours to 24 hours to propagate.

      Should work after that.
      I deleted my welcome email from fatcow. Where else can I find this?

      I would give it 1 day and see if the problem fixes. Its not uncommon for it to take up to 24 hours for everything to transfer over.

    Hmmm for the looks of it I think that it is not yet configured it well or you might have forgotten something after the installation sometimes the effect that you've change will not take up to a day for the configuration to take effect.

    Have you fixed this yet? If not i have an unlisted video which we use to show our members how for forward your domain to your hosting company and how to find your name servers.

    It's a "watch over my shoulder as I do it" video.

    If you need it let me know through pm and I can send you the link.

      I think I'm in great need of that video of yours. Spend nearly a day working out this problem and have yet to find a solution

      Edit: I tried using weebly as my hoster and changed my godaddy domain's ip address to my weebly's ip. Hopefully this works out. Now is the waiting game.

        No, it will not!

        At registrar you change the DNS (domain name server) info - NOT the ip...

    Call Godaddy Support Telephone and ask for tech help. They will help you to fix your problem. Either your domain is not forwarded to your hosting site or DNS is not configured correctly. Call Godaddy support.

      Used weebly with success. However I want to switch back to wordpress and my initial problem arises.

      Followed through braincandy7's video, I changed the name server in my godaddy domain to fatcow. After that I installed wp into my domain using fatcow's one-click install.

      After installation, now I can't even open up the page. It keeps refreshing, refreshing and refreshing.

      Edit: Ok. I clicked the wrong link. I'm supposed to click the admin link instead of the website's link. Hopefully this is problem solved !

    You will have to contact your hosting providers to find out what the issue is on that.

    I would suggest though that rather than using the one click install that you install directly onto that domain using fantastico delux, or at least thats what it's called in HG Cpanel so assume it will be something similar.
