Registered new domain with WordPress but it’s not working

  • Unknown's avatar

    My original blog was spr0cketman.wordpress.com. Today I paid the $14.97 for registry and hosting through WordPress. I followed the instructions to update my blog address to the new domain, jodyamills.com. I then tried to go to that domain but it doesn’t seem to exist yet.

    Now, if I need to be patient and wait a day or two because it takes time for things to update, that’s fine, no problem. I just need some reassurance that this is normal. I have done domain name searches on other sites and my domain still shows as available.

    Any thoughts?

  • Hello,

    It can take a short while for new domains to be active and for internet connections everywhere to be able to reach them.

    If your domain is still not up and running after a day or two, please contact us using the Support contact form at http://support.wordpress.com/contact/ and we’ll be happy to assist you.

    Seems to be working fine now. Looking forward to reading more. Oregon’s a good place to be getting out and about. Tho’ I haven’t seen it since about 1976. I wonder has it changed much.

    Wow, you’re right. I swear that, just a few minutes before I posted my question here, the domain wasn’t working! Ah well, at least it’s working now. Hey, and thanks for the replies, they’re much appreciated.

    Hi There,

    Your new domain may bounce in and out for the next 24 to 72 hrs while your new domain propagates through the servers…..
