  Hi.
  A few months ago, I bought a custom domain name from 123 reg. I then bought WordPress hosting and went through the proccess of ‘pointing’ the domain name to the hosting. I completed this proccess and I recieved an email telling me that the transfer will be completed within 24 to 48 hours. I have gone into my emails recently to follow up from this and get the website designed but my WordPress website still says the domain linked to it is a WordPress domain.
  How do I get to the stage where the custom domain name is successfully attached to my WordPress hosting and I can start designing the website?
  Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Howdy –

  No problem. I’m happy to look in to this for you. Please share the custom domain with me here so that I can take a look. It’s not currently connected to the user account that you’ve contacted us from.

  Hi there, I’m seeing hatchwales.co.uk pointed at Host Europe right now, and appears to be working correctly. Is that the web host that will be hosting your new site?

  If so, it looks like you can start to build your site. I don’t know if you have installed the WorPress software or not. Most web hosts have scripts that you can use to install it.
