Softaculous WordPress installation

    Hi,

    I’m new to this so pardon me if this has been answered previously. I have installed WordPress via Softaculous in Cpanel and can see wp files in file manager. When I try to check my website nothing appears but ‘This webpage is not available (ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED).’ Checking https://www.theeyelashparlour.com.au/wp-admin comes up with the same error. However when I check the temporary link to my website a very basic (text style) site appears with WordPress displayed. Domain has been registered for 32 hrs now.
    I’m not sure where I am going wrong but if anyone can point me to the right direction that would be great so I can start creating my website.

    Thanks,
    Angela

    Make sure that your domain is pointed to correct server. If you are not sure about nameservers, you should contact your hosting provider. Most likely your website is pointing to wrong server hence you can’t pull your website using its name.

    Domain has been registered for 32 hrs now.

    A Whois search reveals that your domain is not registered: https://whois.domaintools.com/theeyelashparlour.com.au

    You should contact your hosting service.

    Trying to sort this out but still can’t get it to work. Registered my domain with my host and they basically have 0 customer service. My domain states it’s active but when I try to update Namerserver I get ‘your order is inactive’.
    Feeling quite frustrated about it and thinking of transferring my domain to WordPress if possible. If I transfer my domain, does it mean I can do all my
    domain management via WordPress then?

    Thanks again

    Registered my domain with my host

    Who is your host and when did you register the domain name?
    What hosting package did you purchase? (1 year – Linux?)
    (…it usually takes 24 to 48 hours to propagate a domain name)
    It still does not show on Whois – https://whois.domaintools.com/theeyelashparlour.com.au – nor on the DNS Propagation Checker: https://www.whatsmydns.net/#NS/www.theeyelashparlour.com.au

    WordPress is not a registrar. You can use it for your website (self hosted or at wordpress.com). From WHOIS, your domain does not seem to register yet. You find a new hosting provider to register your domain name and always use hosting provider which provides better support.

    I’ve lodged a complain to Paypal the other day for my domain. I had a friend look into it who confirmed with you guys that my domain has not been registered yet. Funny that 20min later after lodging the claim with Paypal I’ve received a reply on my ticket.
    I’m now waiting for their registrar. Hopefully this will get sorted soon so that I can finally work on my website. Thanks for all the input. Would of have no idea otherwise.
