Need to point domain name to GoDaddy
-
I purchased a WordPress.com domain name, edgecombme.me and now want to point that name to my GoDaddy hosted website. I have tried to follow your instructions as given in the document ‘Point a WordPress.com Domain to GoDaddy’. I followed your directions to change GoDaddy so that Edgecombme.me is the prime address to my site. When I go into GoDaddy’s File Manager for Edgecombme.me it shows the new site files and folders. On WordPress, I changed both the A and CName information as you directed. When I go to edgecombme.me it still goes to the wordpress site, not the new site on GoDaddy. I’ve tried several times. Is there a delay? What am I doing wrong?

Know that it is not uncommon for your own ISP to be last to flush their DNs cache. You can view the DNS changes here > https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/edgecombme.me What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
