    Hope this is posted in the right section.

    I just set up my blog at kevinnn.com, which works fine but when i go to www.kevinnnn.com it still points to 1and1. I registered the domain yesterday at 1and1.com and hosting the site at hostgator. I have changed the name server to hostgator as well yesterday. I also changed the site adresss under the options tab in the wordpress control panel to www.kevinnn.com instead of kevinnn.com and that didnt seem to solve the problem either. So i dont know where I went wrong. My previous 2 blogs were setup fine now I dont know why this one is giving me problems.

    Can anyone help me out please? Thanks! :)

    I've never used 1and1.com service..Have you changed the DNS on 1and1.com ?
    Or just added the A NAME ?

    just for the heck of it, try refreshing your browser or opening it in a new browser since you've made the nameserver changes. I'm hoping that it worked itself out by now. If not you may have to call hostgator

    If you've changed the DNS servers, you will have to wait for a few minutes, maybe around an hour for the name servers to update. I dont know if your host has this problem, but one of the sites where I've hosted my sites takes time for the name servers to update.
