    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
