My site wrp.life says 'Maintenance'

  The Problem:
  When I type in my page address in my browser search bar, or connect to it from my dashboard the page that comes up is blank aside from a grey hue at the bottom. The corresponding tab at the top of the browser says ‘Maintenance’. It has been this way for more than 2 days.

  What I Know:
  -My host is GoDaddy and after calling them two times they claim that it is probably a WordPress issue and not a GoDaddy issue.

  -My WordPress Page isn’t giving me an option to update so I assume I have the latest version.

  -I am certain I am with WordPress.com and NOT WordPress.org

  Any ideas?

  Thanks!

  The issue here is that the name servers on the domain are pointed to GoDaddy, not to WordPress.com. You can see this here:

  http://who.is/whois/wrp.life

  You’ll find the following under name servers:

  ns54.domaincontrol.com
  ns53.domaincontrol.com

  You’ll need to change those to the following:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  GoDaddy-specific instructions can be found here:

  Can you give that a try?

  You’re the best! Thanks for the info.

  It looks like I have to wait a while for it to take. Updates on the way.
