    how long does it take for a site to appear online after you get it registered. I registered a domain almost 15 hours ago and it still doesn't get directed to pages. it instead gets directed to another domain on my server
    Is this normal

    This sounds like your server hasn't been set up to handle the domain. When you register a domain, you have to set up the DNS records to point to the right server, then you have to tell that server to show pages for that website.

    If you point a domain to a server that hasn't been told to host that domain, normally the default website will be shown, which is probably what is happening here.

    It seems to be a IP conflict issue to me. Did you set the right virtualhost entry? Or it could be your dns A record is pointing to an IP which wasn't used to configure that site in apache?
