Hi Sophie

Providing your domain name is pointing to the VH servers, should take just minutes.

What is your website?

If your account is active and you have published your webpage correctly your website should be live.

Thanks. the site is sophielindsay.co.uk. I've clearly just done something wrong! If I type in my address I just get told that firefox can't find the server at sophielindsay.co.uk.

But I can see the home page in my temporary URL - what is this by the way and why do we have one?

Hi, its a bit strange that sophielindsay.co.uk isnt showing at the whois domains site at the moment. Did you get your domain from vodahost or another supplier of domains?.

Hi Chris,

Thanks.

Yes I got it from VH. I've just gone into VH billing services and looked in My Sites/ My domain and it says

No match for "sophielindsay.co.uk".
This domain name has not been registered.
WHOIS lookup made at 18:57:20 15-Apr-2008

But all the e mails I've got from VH say that I've paid and am registered.

Any ideas?

Hi Sophie

Have you got a confirmation email from VH specifically to confirm you have bought and paid your domain name through them.

If you have submit a support ticket asap.

I have checked your domain name and it is still available for someone to buy.

Hi Darren,

Yes, I've received e mails from VH saying I've paid and my domain has been registered successfully for 2 years, giving me a client ID number, and long detailed e mails with login info etc. I don't know where to go from here! I've re-published my website about 20 times, watched the tutorials to see what I've missed etc, and just sent a ticket to contact them to see what they say. Its probably my fault but I just can't see where I've made the mistake!

Thanks for your help - I'll keep you posted.
