Pointing domain to another host

    I have setup my name servers in the WordPress domain manager to point toward hosting at GoDaddy but when I go to the domain it says it is still parked at WordPress.com. We’re well beyond the normal propagation window. Any suggestions?

    Your domain is definitely pointed to GoDaddy.

    When a domain is registered or altered, there is a process called propagation, where information about the domain name is passed to internet service providers all over the world. This process can take up to 72 hours (though usually much less). During that time, your domain may go to its old location, and you may also receive a warning message in your browser about “redirect errors.”

    If you still have trouble viewing the site after 24 hours have passed, please try clearing your browser’s cache: http://www.refreshyourcache.com/

    If that doesn’t work, try clearing your local DNS cache: https://www.whatsmydns.net/flush-dns.html
