Hey guys, I've registered a domain about an hour ago called animeclassicreviews.com Nothing comes up, all i get is 'under construction' or i get a 404 error if i remove the www, i tried to forward url to my blogspot account but nothings happening. What am i doing wrong? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks for your time, i wait with baited breath.

Thanks, maybe it takes a while for them to setup hosting for my new domain at namecheap. Does anyone know?

I dont think namecheap provides web hosting. If anyone can confirm this, then you will need to find a web host.

I just tried the domain. it forwards to a blogspot site.

They don't, at least they don't advertise it.

DNS changes take time to propagate across the Internet. Your ISP or your router/computer may be caching an old IP address for the domain name. Especially since CD Burnt says it worked for him and it works for me too. You might have to wait a few hours for the caching to expire.

Yes. it works no more settings to be made. Just wait let the DNS propagation gets completed.

Yep, the domain is working, but the loading speed is darn slow, I waited nearly for 2 min and gave up. No, Namecheap.com doesn't provide any hosting, thanks god, let them focus on selling domain names and provide the quality service they are known for....

Thank guys, your right it works, just needed to wait for my own settings to update, really appreciate your help. However i now have one last problem, i would like to register ghsgoogle.com as a nameserver so i can host my blogspot under my custom domain url. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Is this right? bp2.blogger.com/_Lj3pRfqDfUk/Ra9_vXqURpI/AAAAAAAAAFo/Q14sr_cITD8/s1600-h/name.jpg Last edited by Area88; 08-01-2007 at 06:49 AM.
