Hey, I just bought a domain yesterday, from dotster. The registration was successful, and the order completed successfully. I had set the nameservers while registering, which are being reflected correctly in a whois search. I set up an account from the site using my reseller account, and put up a temporary html page using FTP. But the problem is, I'm not able to access the domain. The domain doesnt ping, a whois search on the domain lists that "No Website present". However, the registrant/technical/contact/namesever details are all fine in the whois. Even via FTP, I had to connect to the host using the server IP and not the Host Name. The html page is accessible via http://serveriphere/~cpanelusername/ but is not accessible as http://www.domain.net What could be wrong ?
Could you provide the url? Maybe the nameservers havent updated. If its a US server and your in India, it can take up to 48? hours. Try in the morning (well its night here) and let us know. If it is still a problem, contact dotsters technical support.
Wow thanks for that. Usually when I bought domains from Godaddy, They used to be activated instantly.. Never knew dotster would take so much time. Thanks for that
