Newbie Question- Need Help!

  • I have been with WordPress.com for over 2 years. I decided to switch to self-hosting today. I bought a Domain name last April and had it linked to my WordPress.com account (so, instead of reading username.wordpress.com it read my domain name, but I was not self-hosted. I am sure there is a technical name for this, but I don’t know what it is.)
    I’m going through HostGator and used Fantasitco to install WP. However, when I click on the link to go to my admin page, it redirects me to my old WP.com site.

    What am I missing?

    Think I figured it out. I just changed the name servers. We shall see in a few hours.

    Yes, you did figure it out correctly.

    Be aware that it can take up to 48 hours for name server changes to be reflected worldwide. This can cause weird problems like being able to see things properly at your house, but not your friend’s, having to clear browser cache, etc.
