  I had contacted you a 2 days ago, and I was trying to get my domain hosted on Host Gator instead of wordpress, could you walk me through this? I changed the namesever as directed by host gator reps, and got a notification from wordpress that I changed the nameserver, but it has been over 8 hours and is still not coming up when I enter my address in the url search. Could somebody walk me through this?

  Hi there,

  You might want to confirm with Host Gator that you set the appropriate name servers:

  It may take a little while for domain changes to propagate — technically, it may take up to 72 hours.

  Feel free to contact us if it’s still not showing up after a day or so.
