Dreamhost.com Question

I just signed up to host my site on Dreamhost.com and installed wordpress. Does it take a while for everything to get up and running? Because I can't even login to edit site content or anything. I get the 404 (Page Not Found) error. Does it usually take a day or so before everything starts up? Or is something wrong?

 

Yeah it takes a few hours.. Usually pretty fast if its .com, but sometimes loner for other countries suffix

 

Have you got your domain pointing to the correct nameservers?

 

You're right, the domain didn't have the correct nameservers. I changed them just now so hopefully it works.

 

It's always the most obvious thing... but don't worry, we've all done it at some point ;-)

 

Ah, sometime you give people too much credit..

 

Thanks, does it usually take a day or so for the switch to take full affect?

 

They always say allow 24 hours, however, depending on how good they are, I usually find mine work within 10 minutes

 

Thanks a lot, you've been very helpful. I'll just wait until tomorrow and check up on it again because I'm still getting the 404 error page.

 

Yeah, although you could try clearing out your cache and restarting your pc...

 

Check Name server.
