    Hi fellow DPer's.

    I have a domain name which is registered with Godaddy. Hosting is with Hostgator. I have set the nameservers on Godaddy to NS1.HOSTGATOR.COM and NS2.HOSTGATOR.COM.
    I have set up the domain as an add-on domain with hostgator. I have then tried to use Fantastico Deluxe to install a basic Wordpress blog at the add-on domain using hostgator Cpanel. Everything seems to work and I get no error messages, but when I try to view the blog I get a message saying:

    Oops! Internet Explorer could not connect to xxxxxxxxxxxx.net

    (where xxxxxxxxxxx.net is the add-on doamin name)

    Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong please? :)

    kind regards
    Colin

    You need to wait till the changes are propagated through out the web, usually for a .com it happens immidiatly, but for other TLD's it can take time.

    You shouldn't change to NS1.Hostgator.com but on the Nameservers given by HostGator to you, HostGator have many nameservers and i bet they can't be ns1.hostagtor.com or ns2.hostagtor.com

    It can take up to 72 hours, although in my experience, it's usually quite a bit less.
